Scutellarin alleviates blood-retina-barrier oxidative stress injury initiated by activated microglia cells during the development of diabetic retinopathy
Abstract
The breakdown of blood-retinal barrier (BRB) is an early and typical event during the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Scutellarin (SC) is a natural flavonoid. This study aims to investigate the protection of SC from BRB damage via focusing on inhibiting microglia-initiated inflammation and subsequent oxidative stress injury. SC attenuated BRB breakdown and the reduced expression of claudin-1 and claudin-19 in STZ-induced diabetic mice. SC reduced microglia cells activation both in vivo and in vitro. The results of transendothelial/transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER/TER) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated dextran cell permeability assay showed that SC attenuated BRB damage induced by d-glucose (25 mM)-stimulated microglia BV2 cells. SC suppressed nuclear factor κB (NFκB) activation and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression induced by d-glucose (25 mM) in BV2 cells. SC decreased the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2 both in vivo and in vitro. MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 reduced the d-glucose-induced NFκB nuclear accumulation and TNFα expression in BV2 cells. Next, SC improved the decreased expression of claudin-1 and claudin-19, the increased BRB damage and cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, and enhanced nuclear accumulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in TNFα-treated human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs) and APRE19 cells. Moreover, the SC-provided alleviation on BRB breakdown in STZ-induced diabetic mice was diminished in Nrf2 knock-out mice. In conclusion, SC alleviates BRB breakdown via abrogating retinal inflammatory responses and subsequent oxidative stress injury initiated by microglia cells that is activated by hyperglycemia during DR development.
