Protection of retinal function and morphology in MNU-induced retinitis pigmentosa rats by ALDH2: an in-vivo study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a kind of inherited retinal degenerative diseases characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptors. RP has been a conundrum without satisfactory countermeasures in clinic until now. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a major enzyme involved in aldehyde detoxification, has been demonstrated to be beneficial for a growing number of human diseases, such as cardiovascular dysfunction, diabetes mellitus and neurodegeneration. However, its protective effect against RP remains unknown. Our study explored the impact of ALDH2 on retinal function and structure in N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced RP rats. METHODS:Rats were gavaged with 5 mg/kg Alda-1, an ALDH2 agonist, 5 days before and 3 days after MNU administration. Assessments of retinal function and morphology as well as measurement of specific proteins expression level were conducted. RESULTS:Electroretinogram recordings showed that Alda-1 administration alleviated the decrease in amplitude caused by MNU, rendering protection of retinal function. Mitigation of photoreceptor degeneration in MNU-treated retinas was observed by optical coherence tomography and retinal histological examination. In addition, Western blotting results revealed that ALDH2 protein expression level was upregulatedwith increased expression of SIRT1 protein after the Alda-1 intervention. Besides, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) was reduced according to the significant downregulation of GRP78 protein, while apoptosis was ameliorated as shown by the decreased expression of PARP1 protein. CONCLUSIONS:Together, our data demonstrated that ALDH2 could provide preservation of retinal function and morphology against MNU-induced RP, with the underlying mechanism at least partly related to the modulation of SIRT1, ERS and apoptosis.
