This is thought to lead to EV (fine particle) production in the presence of RPE alone. When this EV is produced, it acts on macrophages that have infiltrated the inflamed area in the vicinity and induces the production of TNF- ⁇ . TNF- ⁇ production is sufficiently induced even with fine particles concentrated twice by ultracentrifugation from the supernatant of the single culture, but the induction activity of the co-culture supernatant is higher.

This TNF- ⁇ then acts on the nearby RPE, inflammatory cytocan from the RPE, MCP-1 (has the effect of migrating macrophages to the inflammatory site), IL-6 (involved in choroidal tissue fibrosis). , VEGF (involved in angiogenesis) production is thought to be enhanced and EV production induced.
