Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complicated ocular disease which occurs in elderly people and leads to central vision loss. The AMD generated because of overproduction of oxidative stress which leads to RPE cell death. The present study investigates whether SOD1 induced MRPE cell death based on that overexpression of SOD1 in MRPE cells which induced cell death. The SOD1 gradually increased ROS production and fragmentation of nuclei. To explore the ER stress persuaded UPR via GRP78, and CHOP, protein expression level analyses were carried out by western blotting. Together, our results represent that SOD1 could possibly produce the oxidant induced MRPE cell death.
