Excessive accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium with age and in various hereditary and degenerative retinal diseases, is of pathogenetic significance. We have shown that the major lipofuscin fluorophor A2-E (N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine) affects the lysosomal degradation of human RPE cells and damages the cellular metabolism by phototoxic properties. Herein we sought to determine mechanisms for the inhibitory effect on lysosomal function apart from pH elevation.
