Abstract
⺠Vitreous induces morphological changes and cytoskeletal rearrangements in RPE cells. ⺠Rac1 is activated in vitreous-transformed RPE cells. ⺠Rac inhibition prevents morphological changes in vitreous-transformed RPE cells. ⺠Rac inhibition suppresses cytoskeletal rearrangements in vitreous-transformed RPE cells. ⺠The vitreous-induced effects are mediated by a Rac1 GTPase/LIMK1/cofilin pathway.
