Abstract Background: Cellular senescence of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell was an important cause of degenerative retinal disorders, however, the potential effects of grape seed proanthocyanindin extract (GSPE) through regulating NAMPT/SIRT1/NLRP3 pathway remained unclear.Methods: The effects of GSPE on the cellular senescence biomarkers as well as NAMPT and NAD+ contents were detected in both in-vivo and in-vitro RPE cell models. The protection of GSPE treatment on the mitochondrial homeostasis and barrier function of RPE cells were detected with mtDNA lesions, JC-1 staining, ZO1 expression, trans-epithelial cell resistance (TEER) as well as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) expressions. The GSPE treatment with NAMPT inhibitor, Fk866, and SIRT1 inhibitor, EX-527, was used in the potential NAMPT/SIRT1/NLRP3 mechanism detection.Results: GSPE significantly improve the NAMPT and NAD+ content in aging mice and thus alleviated the RPE cellular senescence. In advanced in-vitro studies, GSPE could be an activator of NAMPT and thus relieved H2O2 induced NAD+ depression. In advanced analyses, it was reported that GSPE could alleviate mitochondrial homeostasis, barrier function and SASP of aging RPE cells. Thus, detection the SASP in in-vitro aging model provided us knowledge in the understanding of the anti-aging role of GSPE and following detailed pathological mechanism analyses demonstrated that GSPE demonstrated the protective effects in aging RPE cells through NAMPT/SIRT1/NLRP3 pathway.Conclusions: These findings indicate that GSPE alleviated cellular senescence both in-vivo and in-vitro through NAMPT/SIRT1/NLRP3 pathway. This study highlighted the importance both the potential GSPE in degenerative retinopathy as well as the crosstalk of NAD+ metabolism, SIRT1 function and NLRP3 activation.

AbstractAge-related macular degeneration (AMD), a degenerative disease in the central macula area of the neuroretina and the supporting retinal pigment epithelium, is the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly. Although advances have been made, treatment to prevent the progressive degeneration is lacking. Besides the association of innate immune pathway genes with AMD susceptibility, environmental stress- and cellular senescence-induced alterations in pathways such as metabolic functions and inflammatory responses are also implicated in the pathophysiology of AMD. Cellular senescence is an adaptive cell process in response to noxious stimuli in both mitotic and postmitotic cells, activated by tumor suppressor proteins and prosecuted via an inflammatory secretome. In addition to physiological roles in embryogenesis and tissue regeneration, cellular senescence is augmented with age and contributes to a variety of age-related chronic conditions. Accumulation of senescent cells accompanied by an impairment in the immune-mediated elimination mechanisms results in increased frequency of senescent cells, termed “chronic” senescence. Age-associated senescent cells exhibit abnormal metabolism, increased generation of reactive oxygen species, and a heightened senescence-associated secretory phenotype that nurture a proinflammatory milieu detrimental to neighboring cells. Senescent changes in various retinal and choroidal tissue cells including the retinal pigment epithelium, microglia, neurons, and endothelial cells, contemporaneous with systemic immune aging in both innate and adaptive cells, have emerged as important contributors to the onset and development of AMD. The repertoire of senotherapeutic strategies such as senolytics, senomorphics, cell cycle regulation, and restoring cell homeostasis targeted both at tissue and systemic levels is expanding with the potential to treat a spectrum of age-related diseases, including AMD.

Sodium iodate iv. damages the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in rabbits. Where RPE does not regenerate (e.g., 1,2) Muller glial cells (MC) forma subretinal scar that replaces RPE. The MC response was studied by HVEM in 3D computer reconstructions of serial thick sections, made using the STEREC0N program (3), and the HVEM at the NYS Dept. of Health in Albany, NY. Tissue was processed for HVEM or immunofluorescence localization of a monoclonal antibody recognizing MG microvilli (4).

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that causes irreversible impairment of central vision, and effective treatment is not yet available. Extracellular accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in drusen that lie under the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has been reported as one of the early signs of AMD and was found in more than 60% of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Extracellular deposition of Aβ can induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, TNF-α, COX-2, and iNOS in RPE cells. Thus, finding a compound that can effectively reduce the inflammatory response may help the treatment of AMD. In this research, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of the coral-derived compound 4-(phenylsulfanyl) butan-2-one (4-PSB-2) on Aβ1-42 oligomer (oAβ1-42) added to the human adult retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19). Our results demonstrated that 4-PSB-2 can decrease the elevated expressions of TNF-α, COX-2, and iNOS via NF-κB signaling in ARPE-19 cells treated with oAβ1-42 without causing any cytotoxicity or notable side effects. This study suggests that 4-PSB-2 is a promising drug candidate for attenuation of AMD.
