Damage to mitochondria is a common mechanism of cell death in inherited neurodegenerative disorders. Therefore, mitochondrial protection and mitochondrial repair are promising strategies to induce retinal neuroprotection. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-α (PGC-1α) and β (PGC-1β) are transcriptional coactivators that are the main regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis. We propose that PGC-1α and PGC-1β could play a role in regulating retina cell survival, and may be important therapeutic targets to prevent retinal degeneration.
线粒体损伤是遗传性神经退行性疾病中细胞死亡的常见机制。因此,线粒体保护和线粒体修复是诱导视网膜神经保护的有前景的策略。过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ共激活因子-α(PGC-1α)和-β(PGC-1β)是转录共激活因子,是线粒体生物发生的主要调节因子。我们提出,PGC-1α和PGC-1β可能在调节视网膜细胞存活中发挥作用,并且可能是预防视网膜变性的重要治疗靶点。
