This study aims to investigate whether BHB ameliorates the harmful effects induced by high glucose in ARPE-19 cells, a model of retinal pigment epithelium. We investigated the effects induced by high glucose and/or BHB on viability, migration, colony-forming ability, cell cycle progression and cytokine production. Our data indicate that high glucose significantly reduces the viability of ARPE-19 cells with no significant changes in apoptosis or autophagy, while inducing cell cytostasis. On the other hand, BHB exerts a protective effect on ARPE-19 cells under hyperglycemic conditions improving cell viability and alleviating glucose-induced cell cycle arrest. Additionally, BHB treatment affects the expression of IL-8 and IL-17α, as well as of MCP-1, modulating the inflammatory response, cell migration and wound healing. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential protective role of BHB against the detrimental effects induced by high glucose on ARPE-19 cells.

However, MOTS-c, a highly efficient mitochondrial peptide, has yet to be evaluated on retinal cell survival. In this study, we show that there are differences in effects between wild-type (wt-) and differentiated ARPE19 cells (diff-ARPE19), implying that the cellular differentiation status may influence how cells respond to MOTS-c. MOTS-c has dose-dependent effects on apoptosis, inflammation, and mitochondrial biogenesis in diff-ARPE19 cells. Lower doses (500 nM) have more significant impacts than 5 µM concentrations. In diff-ARPE19 cells, a lower dose of MOTS-c can reduce the negative impact of hypoxia on cellular survival and gene expression, including apoptosis (CASP3, CASP9), mitochondrial biogenesis (TFAM, PGC-1α), and metabolic sensor (AMPK). However, it had no significant effect on ROS levels or NRF1 expression, regardless of MOTS-c dose. Exposing diff-ARPE19 cells to varied MOTS-c dosages before and after therapy in a chemically induced hypoxic environment yields no extra benefits as compared to MOTS-c treatment alone. MOTS-c had different effects on the expression of genes linked with apoptosis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and antioxidant activity in AMD patients versus age-matched control cybrids.
