摘要

Diabetic retinopathy is characterised by retinal neurodegeneration and retinal vascular abnormalities, affecting one third of diabetic patients with disease duration of more than 10 years. Accumulated evidence suggests that serine racemase (SR) and D-serine are correlated with the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy and the deletion of the Srr gene reverses neurovascular pathologies in diabetic mice. Since D-serine content is balanced by SR synthesis and D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) degradation, we examined the roles of DAAO in diabetic retinopathy and further explored relevant therapy. Rats were used as a model of diabetes by i.p. injection of streptozotocin at the age of 2 months and blood glucose was monitored with a glucometer. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to examine Dao mRNA and western blotting to examine targeted proteins in the retinas. Bisulphite sequencing was used to examine the methylation of Dao mRNA promoter in the retinas. Intravitreal injection of DAAO-expressing adenovirus (AAV8-DAAO) was conducted one week before streptozotocin administration. Brain specific homeobox/POU domain protein 3a (Brn3a) immunofluorescence was conducted to indicate retinal ganglion cells at 3 months after virus injection. The permeability of the blood–retinal barrier was examined by Evans blue leakage from retinal capillaries. Periodic acid–Schiff staining and haematoxylin counterstaining were used to indicate retinal vasculature, which was further examined with double immunostaining at 7 months after virus injection. At the age of 12 months, DAAO mRNA and protein levels in retinas from diabetic animals were reduced to 66.2% and 70.4% of those from normal (control) animals, respectively. The Dao proximal promoter contained higher levels of methylation in diabetic than in normal retinas. Consistent with the observation, DNA methyltransferase 1 was increased in diabetic retinas. Injection of DAAO-expressing virus completely prevented the loss of retinal ganglion cells and the disruption of blood–retinal barrier in diabetic rats. Diabetic retinas contained retinal ganglion cells at a density of 54 ± 4/mm2, which was restored to 68 ± 9/mm2 by DAAO overexpression, similar to the levels in normal retinas. The ratio between the number of endothelial cells and pericytes in diabetic retinas was 6.06 ± 1.93/mm2, which was reduced to 3.42 ± 0.55/mm2 by DAAO overexpression; the number of acellular capillaries in diabetic retinas was 10 ± 5/mm2, which was restored to 6 ± 2/mm2 by DAAO overexpression, similar to the levels in normal retinas. Injection of the DAAO-expressing virus increased the expression of occludin and reduced gliosis, which were examined to probe the mechanism by which the disrupted blood–retinal barrier in diabetic rats was rescued and retinal neurodegeneration was prevented. Altogether, overexpression of DAAO before the onset of diabetes protects against neurovascular abnormalities in retinas from diabetic rats, which suggests a novel strategy for preventing diabetic retinopathy.
