Topical Administration of Somatostatin Prevents Retinal Neurodegeneration in Experimental Diabetes
Retinal neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Somatostatin (SST) is an endogenous neuroprotective peptide that is downregulated in the diabetic eye. The aim of the study was to test the usefulness of topical administration of SST in preventing retinal neurodegeneration. For this purpose, rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (STZ-DM) ...
متن کاملTopical Administration of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Prevents Retinal Neurodegeneration in Experimental Diabetes.
Retinal neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Since glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) exerts neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system and the retina is ontogenically a brain-derived tissue, the aims of the current study were as follows: 1) to examine the expression and content of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in human and db/db mice retinas; ...
متن کاملPeroxynitrite mediates retinal neurodegeneration by inhibiting nerve growth factor survival signaling in experimental and human diabetes.
OBJECTIVE Recently we have shown that diabetes-induced retinal neurodegeneration positively correlates with oxidative stress and peroxynitrite. Studies also show that peroxynitrite impairs nerve growth factor (NGF) survival signaling in sensory neurons. However, the causal role of peroxynitrite and the impact of tyrosine nitration on diabetes-induced retinal neurodegeneration and NGF survival s...
متن کاملSomatostatin prevents lipopolysaccharide-induced neurodegeneration in the rat substantia nigra by inhibiting the activation of microglia
Somatostatin (SST) is a neuromodulator which is abundant throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and has a crucial role in neurodegenerative disorders. However, little is known about the effects and mechanisms of SST in dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the context of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, a model of PD was generated by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the substa...
متن کاملSomatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases.
Somatostatin is a small neuropeptide that is produced in the central nervous system, where it acts as a neurotransmitter. This neuropeptide also has an important role in the neuroendocrine system as an inhibitor of hormone release, the most striking example of which is the inhibition of growth hormone release. The role of somatostatin in eye disease recently became of interest because of its ro...
