摘要
PURPOSE. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate during aging and have been observed in postmortem eyes within the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch's membrane, and subcellular deposits ( drusen). AGEs have been associated with age-related dysfunction of the RPE-in particular with development and progression to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In the present study the impact of AGEs at the RPE-Bruch's membrane interface was evaluated, to establish how these modifications may contribute to age-related disease. METHODS. AGEs on Bruch's membrane were evaluated using immunohistochemistry. A clinically relevant in vitro model of substrate AGE accumulation was established to mimic Bruch's membrane ageing. Responses of ARPE-19 growing on AGE-modified basement membrane (AGE-BM) for 1 month were investigated by using a microarray approach and validated by quantitative (q)RT-PCR. In addition to identified AGE-related mRNA alterations, lysosomal enzyme activity and lipofuscin accumulation were also studied in ARPE-19 grown on AGE-BM. RESULTS. Autofluorescent and glycolaldehyde-derived AGEs were observed in clinical specimens on Bruch's membrane and choroidal extracellular matrix. In vitro analysis identified a range of dysregulated mRNAs in ARPE-19 exposed to AGE-BM. Altered ARPE-19 degradative enzyme mRNA expression was observed on exposure to AGE-BM. AGE- BM caused a significant reduction in cathepsin-D activity in ARPE-19 (P < 0.05) and an increase in lipofuscin accumulation (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS. AGEs influence ARPE-19 mRNA expression profiles and may contribute to reduced lysosomal enzyme degradative capacity and enhanced accumulation of lipofuscin. Formation of AGEs on Bruch's membrane may have important consequences for age-related outer retinal disease. (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2009; 50: 441-451) DOI:10.1167/iovs.08-1724
