Photobiomodulation protects the retina from light-induced photoreceptor degeneration.
PURPOSE In this study, the hypothesis that near-infrared (NIR) light treatment (photobiomodulation) attenuates bright-light damage in the albino rat retina was tested. METHODS Young adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) albino rats were raised in dim (5 lux), cyclic light and then exposed to bright (1000 lux), continuous light for 24 hours. The animals were treated with 670-nm light (9 J/cm(2)) in an LED...
متن کاملAutophagy protects the retina from light-induced degeneration.
Autophagy is a conserved feature of lysosome-mediated intracellular degradation. Dysregulated autophagy is implicated as a contributor in neurodegenerative diseases; however, the role of autophagy in retinal degeneration remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the photo-activated visual chromophore, all-trans-retinal, modulated autophagosome formation in ARPE19 retinal cells. Increased fo...
متن کاملIntraperitoneal injection of (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate protects against light-induced photoreceptor degeneration in the mouse retina
PURPOSE (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major catechin component of green tea, is reported to delay or prevent certain forms of cancer, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we determined if systemically administered EGCG could protect the retina against light damage (LD) in mice. METHODS BALB/cJ mice were treated with either EGCG or salin...
متن کاملDeferiprone Protects against Photoreceptor Degeneration Induced by Tunicamycin in the Rat Retina.
Endoplasmic reticulum stress has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. In the present study, we examined the effects of deferiprone, an iron chelator, on photoreceptor degeneration induced by tunicamycin (300 nmol/eye), an endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer, in the rat retina. Scotopic electroretinogram measure...
متن کاملSystemic but not intraocular Epo gene transfer protects the retina from light-and genetic-induced degeneration.
Molecules with neurotrophic activity are being evaluated for treatment of retinitis pigmentosa in animal models. In particular, great interest has been focused recently on erythropoietin (Epo). Evidence of its neurotrophic activity comes mainly from data demonstrating photoreceptor protection in a rodent light-damage model through systemic administration of a recombinant form of this hormone. O...
