Abstract

PURPOSE: To analyze chloroquine-induced morphological changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Bruch's membrane (BM).

METHODS: Retina-choroid complexes of chloroquine-treated Long-Evans rats were analyzed by electron microscopy.

RESULTS: Intercellular spaces between the RPE cells and BM were enlarged. Residual material from phagosomes was released into these enlarged spaces. Debris accumulated within BM and encircled choriocapillaris endothelial cells.

CONCLUSION: There is a release of undegraded phagocytic material (rod outer segments) into the extracellular space between BM and RPE cells, following inhibition of lysosomal degradation. Electron-dense deposits in BM and choriocapillaris may lead to reduced oxygen and nutrition flow.
