Ischemic Tolerance Protects the Rat Retina from Glaucomatous Damage
Glaucoma is a leading cause of acquired blindness which may involve an ischemic-like insult to retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve head. We investigated the effect of a weekly application of brief ischemia pulses (ischemic conditioning) on the rat retinal damage induced by experimental glaucoma. Glaucoma was induced by weekly injections of chondroitin sulfate (CS) in the rat eye anterior cha...
متن کاملIn vivo characterization of ischemic retina in diabetic retinopathy
OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to characterize pathomorphologic changes within particular layers of fluorescein angiographically 'ischemic' compared to 'nonischemic' retina in patients with diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Cross-sectional images of ischemic retinal areas were obtained using Heidelberg Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT). Presumed retinal ischemia was defined as f...
متن کاملSuppression of Acid Sphingomyelinase Protects the Retina from Ischemic Injury
PURPOSE Acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide and mediates multiple responses involved in inflammatory and apoptotic signaling. However, the role ASMase plays in ischemic retinal injury has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate how reduced ASMase expression impacts retinal ischemic injury. METHODS Changes in ceramide...
متن کاملInhibition of histone deacetylase protects the retina from ischemic injury.
PURPOSE. The pathogenesis of retinal ischemia results from a series of events involving changes in gene expression and inflammatory cytokines. Protein acetylation is an essential mechanism in regulating transcriptional and inflammatory events. The purpose of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective action of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) in a retinal isc...
متن کاملThe DPP4 Inhibitor Linagliptin Protects from Experimental Diabetic Retinopathy
BACKGROUND/AIMS Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, however, their influence on the retinal neurovascular unit remains unclear. METHODS Vasculo- and neuroprotective effects were assessed in experimental diabetic retinopathy and high glucose-cultivated C. elegans, respectively. In STZ-diabetic Wistar rats (diabetes duration of 24 weeks), DPP4 a...
