Low-dose chloroquine mediated neuroprotection against n-methyl-d-aspartate induced excitotoxicity in adult mice
Objective
To investigate the protective effects of different concentrations of chloroquine on RGC in n-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) injured mice and its possible mechanisms.
Methods
Fifty-four healthy male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, 18 in each group. The mice in low-dose chloroquine group were intraperitoneally injected with chloroquine solution at a dose of 10 mg/kg daily. Mice in high-dose chloroquine group were intraperitoneally injected with chloroquine solution at a dose of 100 mg/kg, and the mice in control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of PBS. NMDA intravitreal injection was performed 2 days after intraperitoneal injection, 5 nmoles NMDA was injected into the left eye, and the same volume of PBS was injected into the right eye as a control. The RGC staining of retinal plaques were performed 7 days after NMDA injection, and the number of alive RGC was calculated. The visual acuity and electroretinogram were used to evaluate the electrophysiological functions of RGC at 9 and 10 days after modeling. Real-time quantitative PCR and retinal frozen sections and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunofluorescence staining were performed 11 days after NMDA injection to evaluate the glial activation of the retina. The density, visual acuity, and the amplitude of PhNR-wave of RGC between groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance.
Results
At 7 days after NMDA injection, the density of RGC in retinal patch of low-dose chloroquine group was significantly higher than that of intraperitoneal injection of PBS control group (F=54.41, P 0.05). The visual acuity was higher than control group, and the difference was statistically significant (F=9.10, P<0.05). The amplitude of PhNR-wave was significantly higher in low-dose chloroquine group than that of the control group (F=17.60, P<0.01). The mRNA level of inflammatory factor and GFAP positive signal was also significantly lower than that of the control group (F=23.66, P<0.05). The amplitude of PhNR-wave, the expression of GFAP (F=110.20, P<0.01) and the mRNA level of inflammatory factors (F=167.60, 17.78; P<0.01) in the high-dose chloroquine group were higher than the other two groups, and the differences were statistically significant.
Conclusions
In NMDA injury retinal model, low-dose chloroquine significantly increased the survival and physiological function of RGC, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of glial activation and inflammatory response. High-dose of chloroquine would aggravate the apoptosis of RGC.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases is the only scientific journal in my country that focuses on reporting fundus diseases. Its purpose is to combine clinical and basic research, and to give equal importance to improvement and popularization. It comprehensively reflects the leading clinical and basic research results of fundus disease disciplines in my country; cultivates professional talents in fundus disease, promotes the development of fundus disease disciplines in my country; and promotes academic exchanges on fundus disease at home and abroad. The coverage includes clinical and basic research results of posterior segment diseases such as retina, uveal tract, vitreous body, visual pathway, and internal eye diseases related to systemic diseases. The readers are medical workers and researchers related to clinical and basic research of fundus diseases. According to the journal retrieval report of the Chinese Institute of Scientific and Technological Information, the comprehensive ranking impact factor and total citation frequency of the Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases have been among the best in the disciplines of ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology in my country for many years. The papers published have been included in many important databases at home and abroad, such as Scopus, Peking University Core, and China Science Citation Database (CSCD).
