Inhibition of apoptosis and reduction of intracellular pH decrease in retinal neural cell cultures by a blocker of carbonic anhydrase

Abstract

Methylglyoxal and glyoxal are intermediates of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These substances, as well as hydrogen peroxide, induce retinal neurons to reduce their intracellular pH and augment their production of reactive oxygen species, leading to apoptosis. Because these processes may play a role in diabetic retinopathy, the authors undertook this study to investigate the protective action of dorzolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, on retinal neural cells. E1A-NR3 cells were incubated with varying concentrations of glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and H2O2 for different periods of time in the presence or absence of dorzolamide. Apoptotic changes were determined by cytofluorometry after the cells were incubated with appropriate dyes and antibodies. The parameters studied were DNA strand breaks (TUNEL assay), subdiploid DNA content (sub-G1 assay), annexin V binding, reactive oxygen species intermediates production, active caspase-3, N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (a glycation product), and intracellular pH. Optimal conditions for detection of the cell-protecting effect of dorzolamide were incubation with 0.6 to 0.8 mM glyoxal or methylglyoxal for 5 hours or with 0.1 mM H2O2 for 30 minutes, respectively, followed by ...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
