Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Target Genes Contribute to Retinal Neuroprotection
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a transcription factor that facilitates cellular adaptation to hypoxia and ischemia. Long-standing evidence suggests that one isotype of HIF, HIF-1α, is involved in the pathogenesis of various solid tumors and cardiac diseases. However, the role of HIF-1α in retina remains poorly understood. HIF-1α has been recognized as neuroprotective in cerebral ischemia in ...
متن کاملNeuroprotection as a Therapeutic Target for Diabetic Retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a multifactorial progressive disease of the retina and a leading cause of vision loss. DR has long been regarded as a vascular disorder, although neuronal death and visual impairment appear before vascular lesions, suggesting an important role played by neurodegeneration in DR and the appropriateness of neuroprotective strategies. Upregulation of vascular endothelia...
متن کاملRetinal Neurodegeneration in the Course of Diabetes:Neuroprotection as a Potential Treatment Target
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes and is considered one of the main causes of blindness both in moderateand high-income countries. Epidemiological studies have shown that about 1/3 of diabetics show signs of DR and about 1/10 faces the gloomy vision of DR progression, including macular oedema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy [1-3]. For many years DR has been pe...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration and Neuroprotection in Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is widely considered to be a neurovascular disease. This is in contrast to its previous identity as solely a vascular disease. Early in the disease progression of diabetes, the major cells in the neuronal component of the retina consist of retinal ganglion cells and glial cells, both of which have been found to be compromised. A number of retinal function tests also indicat...
متن کاملRegulation of Posttranscriptional Modification as a Possible Therapeutic Approach for Retinal Neuroprotection
Understanding pathogenesis at the molecular level is the first step toward developing new therapeutic approaches. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of visual dysfunction in two common diseases, innate chorioretinal inflammation and diabetic retinopathy, and the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in both processes. In innate chorioretinal inflammation, interleukin-6 family liga...
