Identification of genes contributing to attenuation of rat model of galactose-induced cataract by pyruvate
Cataracts are a disease that reduces vision due to opacity formation of the lens. Diabetic cataracts occur at young age and progress relatively quickly, so the development of effective treatment has been awaited. Several studies have shown that pyruvate inhibits oxidative stress and glycation of lens proteins, which contribute to onset of diabetic cataracts. However, detailed molecular mechanisms have not been revealed. In this study, we attempted to reduce galactose-induced opacity by pyruvate with rat ex vivo model. Rat lenses were extracted and cultured in galactose-containing medium to induce lens opacity. After opacity had developed, continued culturing with pyruvate in the medium resulted in a reduction of lens opacity. Subsequently, we conducted microarray analysis to investigate the genes that contribute to the therapeutic effect. We performed quantitative expression measurements using RT-qPCR for extracted genes that were upregulated in cataract-induced lenses and downregulated in pyruvate-treated lenses, resulting in the identification of 34 candidate genes. Functional analysis using the STRING database suggests that metallothionein-related factors (Mt1a, Mt1m, and Mt2A) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related factors (Acta2, Anxa1, Cd81, Mki67, Timp1, and Tyms) contribute to the therapeutic effect of cataracts.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
