Diabetes-induced changes in retinal metabolism and function have been linked to increased aldose reductase activity, hypoxia or 'pseudohypoxia' (increase in NADH/NAD+ attributed to increased sorbitol dehydrogenase activity). To address this controversy, we evaluated the effects of two vasoactive compounds, alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin and antioxidant DL-alpha-lipoic acid, as well as sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDI-157) and aldose reductase inhibitor (sorbinil) on retinal free mitochondrial and cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratios in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Diabetes-induced decrease in mitochondrial and cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratios was completely or partially corrected by prazosin and DL-alpha-lipoic acid (despite the fact that prazosin did not affect and DL-alpha-lipoic acid even further increased sorbitol pathway activity) as well as by sorbinil, whereas SDI-157 was totally ineffective. Hypoxia-like metabolic changes in the diabetic retina originate from aldose reductase, but not sorbitol dehydrogenase activity.
糖尿病引起的视网膜代谢和功能变化与醛糖还原酶活性增加、缺氧或“假性缺氧”(由于山梨醇脱氢酶活性增加导致NADH/NAD⁺升高)有关。为了解决这一争议,我们评估了两种血管活性化合物——α(1)-肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂哌唑嗪和抗氧化剂DL-α-硫辛酸,以及山梨醇脱氢酶抑制剂(SDI-157)和醛糖还原酶抑制剂(索比尼尔)对链脲佐菌素诱导的糖尿病大鼠视网膜游离线粒体和胞质NAD⁺/NADH比值的影响。哌唑嗪和DL-α-硫辛酸完全或部分纠正了糖尿病引起的线粒体和胞质NAD⁺/NADH比值降低(尽管哌唑嗪未产生影响,而DL-α-硫辛酸甚至进一步增加了山梨醇途径活性),索比尼尔也有同样效果,而SDI-157则完全无效。糖尿病视网膜中类似缺氧的代谢变化源于醛糖还原酶活性,而非山梨醇脱氢酶活性。
