This study investigates whether the interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) is necessary for the release of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (RAL) or if the retinoid is constitutively released from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) following synthesis. The strategic location of IRBP in the interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM) and its retinoid-binding ability make it a candidate for a role in 11-cis-RAL release. Fetal bovine RPE cells were grown in permeable chambers, and their apical surfaces were incubated with medium containing either apo-IRBP, the apo form of cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP), the apo form of serum retinol-binding protein (RBP), or bovine serum albumin (BSA) or with medium devoid of binding proteins. [H-3]-all-trans-Retinol (ROL) was delivered to the basal surface of the cells by RBP. High-performance liquid chromatography demonstrated that [H-3]-11-cis-RAL was optimally released into the apical medium when apo-IRBP was present. The most surprising result was the diminished level of [H-3]-11-cis-RAL when apo-CRALBP was in the apical medium. Circular dichroism demonstrated that CRALBP had not been denatured by the photobleaching required for endogenous ligand removal. Therefore, apo-CRALBP should have been able to bind [H-3]-11-cis-RAL if it was constitutively released into the apical medium. In addition, when proteins other than apo-IRBP were present, or if the cells were incubated with medium alone, the observed decrease in apical [H-3]-11-cis-RAL was concomitant with a buildup of intracellular [H-3]-all-trans-retinyl palmitate and [H-3]-all-trans-ROL in the basal culture medium. Together these results suggest that IRBP is actively involved in the apical release of [H-3]-11-cis-RAL, perhaps via a receptor in the RPE apical membrane.
