This research aimed to dissect the function of TYRP1 and PMEL in glaucomatous animal and cell models.
A chronic ocular hypertension (COH) rat model was induced in the right eyes of rats through the electrocoagulation of superficial iris veins. In addition, an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-retinal ganglion cell (RGC) model was constructed through OGD. TYRP1 and PMEL expression was altered in the animal and cell models to explore their effects.
TYRP1 and PMEL expression was poor in glaucoma patients, COH rats, and OGD-RGCs. Mechanistically, TYRP1 interacted with PMEL to upregulate PMEL in OGD-RGCs. TYRP1 overexpression enhanced viability and diminished apoptosis and oxidative stress of OGD-RGCs, which was abolished by PMEL knockdown. TYRP1 upregulation reduced intraocular pressure, RGC apoptosis, and oxidative stress in COH rats, which was reversed by PMEL knockdown.
TYRP1 elevates PMEL expression to reduce RGC apoptosis and oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro.
本研究旨在剖析 TYRP1 和 PMEL 在青光眼动物和细胞模型中的作用。
通过对浅层虹膜静脉进行电凝，在大鼠右眼诱导慢性眼压升高（COH）模型。此外，通过氧葡萄糖剥夺（OGD）构建视网膜神经节细胞（RGC）模型。改变动物和细胞模型中的 TYRP1 和 PMEL 表达，以探讨其作用。
青光眼患者、COH 大鼠和 OGD-RGCs 中 TYRP1 和 PMEL 的表达较差。在机制上，TYRP1 与 PMEL 相互作用，上调 OGD-RGCs 中的 PMEL。TYRP1 过表达增强了 OGD-RGCs 的活力，减少了细胞凋亡和氧化应激，而 PMEL 敲低则消除了这种作用。TYRP1 的上调降低了 COH 大鼠的眼内压、RGC 凋亡和氧化应激，而 PMEL 敲低则逆转了这种作用。
TYRP1 升高 PMEL 的表达，减少体内和体外 RGC 凋亡和氧化应激。
