AbstractChronic exposure of retinal endothelium cells to hyperglycemia is the leading cause of diabetic retinopathy. We evaluated the effect of high glucose concentration on senescence in human retinal endothelial cells (HREC) and modulation of that effect by Sulodexide. Experiments were performed on HREC undergoing in vitro replicative senescence in standard medium or medium supplemented with glucose 20 mmol/L (GLU) or mannitol 20 mnol/L (MAN). Effect of Sulodexide 0.5 LRU/mL (SUL) on the process of HREC senescence was studied. Glucose 20 mmol/L accelerates senescence of HREC: population doubling time (+ 58%, p < 0.001) β-galactosidase activity (+ 60%, p < 0.002) intracellular oxidative stress (+ 65%, p < 0.01), expression of p53 gene (+ 118%, p < 0.001). Senescent HREC had also reduced transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) (− 30%, p < 0.001). Mannitol 20 mmol/L used in the same scenario as glucose did not induce HREC senescence. In HREC exposed to GLU and SUL, the senescent changes were smaller. HREC, which became senescent in the presence of GLU, demonstrated higher expression of genes regulating the synthesis of Il6 and VEGF-A, which was reflected by increased secretion of these cytokines (IL6 + 125%, p < 0.001 vs control and VEGF-A + 124% p < 0.001 vs control). These effects were smaller in the presence of SUL, and additionally, an increase of TEER in the senescent HREC was observed. Chronic exposure of HREC to high glucose concentration in medium accelerates their senescence, and that process is reduced when the cells are simultaneously exposed to Sulodexide. Additionally, Sulodexide decreases the secretion of IL6 and VEGF-A from senescent HREC and increases their TEER.

Loss of pericytes is a critical event early in the progression of microvascular dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy. Pericyte loss may be linked to high glucose mediated reactive oxygen species generation, blocking N-cadherin trafficking to the endothelial cell surface preventing pericyte recruitment and vessel stabilization. Hydrogen peroxide has been identified as a major free radical produced during high glucose exposure in endothelial cells. The goal of this research is to determine if tissue-specific hypoxia-regulated expression of a mitochondria-targeted catalase can prevent or limit RF/6A microvascular endothelial cell apoptosis and decrease vascular permeability by limiting cellular oxidative stress. For the development of tissue-specific and hypoxia-enhanced expression vectors, promoters were constructed with nine tandem combinations of HREs. This 9x HRE oligomer enhancer was inserted together into a pGL3 firefly luciferase plasmid with the Tie2( short ) promoter for endothelial-specific expression. The 9xHRE-Tie2( sh ) promoter construct was highly selective for RF/6A cells producing a basal amount of mitochondria-targeted catalase equivalent to the Tie2( short ) promoter alone. In response to hypoxia ( pO 2 = 1% ), the 9xHRE-Tie2( short ) promoter showed a 21-fold hypoxia-inducible activation similar in strength to the CMV promoter , measured by dual luciferase assay. The hybrid promoters were incorporated into a replication deficient AAV delivery system for apoptosis and cell culture based endothelial permeability assays. In preliminary assays using RF/6A microvascular endothelial cells, apoptosis was reduced by 58% and permeability was reduced by 46%. The results suggest that mitochondria-targeted catalase protects RF/6A microvascular endothelial cells from apoptosis and reduces endothelial permeability in a high-glucose, low-oxygen environment.

Abstract Reactive species derived from cell oxygenation processes play an important role in vascular homeostasis and the pathogenesis of many diseases including retinopathy of prematurity. We show that CYP1B1-deficient (CYP1B1−/−) mice fail to elicit a neovascular response during oxygen-induced ischemic retinopathy. In addition, the retinal endothelial cells (ECs) prepared from CYP1B1−/− mice are less adherent, less migratory, and fail to undergo capillary morphogenesis. These aberrant cellular responses were completely reversed when oxygen levels were lowered or an antioxidant added. CYP1B1−/− ECs exhibited increased oxidative stress and expressed increased amounts of the antiangiogenic factor thrombospondin-2 (TSP2). Increased lipid peroxidation and TSP2 were both observed in retinas from CYP1B1−/− mice and were reversed by administration of an antioxidant. Reexpression of CYP1B1 in CYP1B1−/− ECs resulted in down-regulation of TSP2 expression and restoration of capillary morphogenesis. A TSP2 knockdown in CYP1B1−/− ECs also restored capillary morphogenesis. Thus, CYP1B1 metabolizes cell products that modulate intracellular oxidative stress, which enhances production of TSP2, an inhibitor of EC migration and capillary morphogenesis. Evidence is presented that similar changes occur in retinal endothelium in vivo to limit neovascularization.
