Abstract

AbstractPurposeSodium iodate (NaIO3) has been extensively used as a retinotoxin to induce RPE cell damage and degeneration of photoreceptorsin vitroandin vivo. RIP-Kinase dependent programmed necrosis is an important redundant cell death pathway involved in photoreceptor cell death. We wanted to determine whether these pathways are actively involved in RPE and photoreceptor cell death after NaIO3 insult.MethodsARPE-19 cells were exposed to different concentrations of NaIO3 in the presence or absence of various concentrations of a RIPK inhibitor (Nec-1) or a pan-caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD), individually or combined. Cell death was determined at different time points by MTT (Sigma-Aldrich), LDH (Promega) and TUNEL (Millipore) assay. C57BL/6 and RIP3−/-mice were treated with a peritoneal injection of NaIO3 and eyes were enucleated at day 3 or 7. TUNEL staining was used to evaluate photoreceptor cell death. Photoreceptor cell loss was evaluated by measuring the thickness of outer nuclear layer (ONL). Microglia in the ONL were quantified in a retinal whole mount with Iba-1 antibody. RPE degeneration was also assessed in a RPE whole mount, with ZO-1 antibody.ResultsNaIO3 resulted in significant cell death of ARPE-19 cells. Treatment with Nec-1 resulted in better protection than treatment with Z-VAD (P<0.01). A synergistic protective effect was observed when co-treating the cells with Nec-1 and Z-VAD. Nec-1 treatment also decreased the ARPE-19 mitochondrial damage caused by NaIO3.In vivoadministration of NaIO3 resulted in significant RPE and photoreceptor destruction with substantial inflammatory cell infiltration. RIP3 knockout animals displayed considerably less RPE and photoreceptor cell loss, as well as drastically less inflammation.ConclusionsProgrammed necrosis is an important cell death pathway mediating NaIO3 RPE and photoreceptor cell toxicity. Blocking the necroptosis pathway may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for various RPE degenerative diseases.
