摘要

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in the western world. Recent evidence suggests that RPE and photoreceptors have an interconnected metabolism and that mitochondrial damage in RPE is a trigger for degeneration in both RPE and photoreceptors in AMD. To test this hypothesis, this study was designed to induce mitochondrial damage in RPE in mice to determine whether this is sufficient to cause RPE and photoreceptor damage characteristic of AMD. In this study, we conditionally deleted the gene encoding the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD encoded by Sod2 ) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of albino BALB/cJ mice. VMD2-Cre;Sod2 sup flox/flox /sup BALB/cJ mice were housed in either 12-h dark, 12-h 200 lux white lighting (normal light), or 12-h dark, 12-h 10 lux red lighting (dim light). Electroretinography (ERG) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were performed to assess retinal function and morphology. Immunofluorescence was used to examine protein expression; quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure gene expression. Sod2 knockout (KO) mice had reduced RPE function with age and increased oxidative stress compared to wild type (WT) controls as expected by the cell-specific deletion of Sod2. This was associated with alterations in RPE morphology and the structure and function of RPE mitochondria. In addition, data show a compensatory increase in RPE glycolytic metabolism. The metabolic shift in RPE correlated with severe disruption of photoreceptor mitochondria including a reduction in TOMM20 expression, mitochondrial fragmentation, and reduced COXIII/β-actin levels. These findings demonstrate that mitochondrial oxidative stress can lead to RPE dysfunction and metabolic reprogramming of RPE. Secondary to these changes, photoreceptors also undergo metabolic stress with increased mitochondrial damage. These data are consistent with the hypothesis of a linked metabolism between RPE and photoreceptors and suggest a mechanism of retinal degeneration in dry AMD.
