The reason for this is that we found high levels of background staining with the anti-8-OH-dG antibodies, which is not unusual when using streptavidin/biotin detection systems in immunohistochemistry [ 39 ] . Unfortunately, secondary antibodies directly linked to a fluorophore or a detection enzyme were not sensitive enough to detect the 8-OH-dG adduct in our hands.
This study demonstrates that oxidative stress induced by H 2 O 2 could lead to RPE cell death, which is preceded by distinct morphological changes, ERK activation and 4-HNE protein adduct formation.
There was a dose-dependent increase of 4-HNE protein adduct after H 2 O 2 treatment with a maximal intensity of ~7X control at 2 mM H 2 O 2 (Fig.
No particular protein was identified as a specific target for 4-HNE adduct formation in these studies.
For example, levels of 4-HNE increased significantly in the vitreous of patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy compared with controls [ 17 ] . Further, 4-HNE forms a stable adduct with rhodopsin in the photoreceptor, which may interfere with its functions [ 18 ] . 4-HNE even causes cataracts in cultured rat lens [ 19 20 ] . Whether oxidative stress on RPE can cause accumulation of cellular HNE-protein adducts remains unknown.
