The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of pigmented cells between the choroid and the retina. RPE dysfunction underlies many retinal degenerative diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of age-related blindness. To perform its various functions in nutrient transport, phagocytosis of the outer segment, and cytokine secretion, the RPE relies on an active energy metabolism. We previously reported that human RPE cells prefer proline as a nutrient and transport proline-derived metabolites to the apical, or retinal, side. In this study, we investigated how RPE utilizes proline in vivo and why proline is a preferred substrate. By using 13C proline labeling both ex vivo and in vivo, we found that the retina rarely uses proline directly, whereas the RPE utilizes it at a high rate, exporting proline-derived mitochondrial intermediates for use by the retina. We observed that in primary human RPE cell culture, proline is the only amino acid whose uptake increases with cellular maturity. In human RPE, proline was sufficient to stimulate de novo serine synthesis, increase reductive carboxylation, and protect against oxidative damage. Blocking proline catabolism in RPE impaired glucose metabolism and glutathione production. Notably, in an acute model of RPE-induced retinal degeneration, dietary proline improved visual function. In conclusion, proline is an important nutrient that supports RPE metabolism and the metabolic demand of the retina.
