Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults. Anatomical and functional changes occur in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) prior to clinical symptoms of the disease. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for these early changes, particularly in the RPE, remain unclear. To begin defining the molecular changes associated with pre-retinopathic diabetes, we conducted a comparative proteomics study of human donor RPE.

Methods

The RPE was dissected from diabetic human donor eyes with no clinically apparent diabetic retinopathy (n = 6) and from eyes of age-matched control donors (n = 17). Soluble proteins were separated based upon their mass and charge using two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. Protein spots were visualised with a fluorescent dye and spot densities were compared between diabetic and control gels. Proteins from spots with significant disease-related changes in density were identified using mass spectrometry.

Results

Analysis of 325 spots on 2-D gels identified 31 spots that were either up- or downregulated relative to those from age-matched control donors. The protein identity of 18 spots was determined by mass spectrometry. A majority of altered proteins belonged to two major functional groups, metabolism and chaperones, while other affected categories included protein degradation, synthesis and transport, oxidoreductases, cytoskeletal structure and retinoid metabolism.

Conclusions/interpretation

Changes identified in the RPE proteome of pre-retinopathic diabetic donor eyes compared with age-matched controls suggest specific cellular alterations that may contribute to diabetic retinopathy. Defining the pre-retinopathic changes affecting the RPE could provide important insight into the molecular events that lead to this disease.

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.
