摘要

老年性黄斑变性(AMD)是影响 60 岁以上人群失明的主要原因。虽然衰老是导致老年黄斑变性的主要因素,但有研究报告称,与年龄匹配的男性相比,女性的老年黄斑变性发病率更高。在中度老年黄斑病变中,女性先天性免疫反应效应蛋白补体因子 B 和因子 I 的水平也高于男性。然而,这些差异背后的机制仍然难以捉摸。过氧化物酶体增殖激活受体γ辅激活子-1α(PGC-1α)是线粒体生物生成和代谢途径的关键调节因子。此前,我们发现 Pgc-1α 抑制和高脂饮食会诱导小鼠出现类似 AMD 的严重表型。我们最近的数据显示,单独抑制 Pgc-1α 也能诱导小鼠视网膜色素上皮(RPE)和视网膜功能障碍,体外抑制 Pgc-1α 会导致人类 RPE 中脂滴堆积。性别是否是导致这些表型的一个因素仍有待阐明。我们利用视网膜电图证明,在野生型(WT)小鼠的衰老过程中,性别对 RPE 功能的影响与 Pgc-1α 无关。我们进一步发现,与年龄匹配的雄性小鼠相比,Pgc-1α的抑制会加剧雌性小鼠的RPE和视网膜功能障碍。基因表达分析表明,在雄性和雌性小鼠中,Pgc-1α对抗氧化酶和线粒体动力学相关基因的调控存在差异。用TOMM20和DRP1免疫标记的RPE平片表明,Pgc-1α在调节线粒体裂变中的作用与性别有关。对线粒体网络形态的分析表明,Pgc-1α抑制对线粒体动力学的影响与性别有关。总之,我们的研究表明,抑制 Pgc-1α 会导致小鼠 RPE 和视网膜功能的下降,而这种下降与性别有关。这些关于 RPE 和视网膜功能的性别依赖性调控的观察结果可为与年龄相关的 RPE 和视网膜退化的靶向治疗方法提供新的见解。

Sex-dependent regulation of retinal pigment epithelium and retinal function by Pgc-1α
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness that affects people over 60. While aging is the prominent factor in AMD, studies have reported a higher prevalence of AMD in women compared to age-matched men. Higher levels of the innate immune response’s effector proteins complement factor B and factor I were also found in females compared to males in intermediate AMD. However, the mechanisms underlying these differences remain elusive. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) is a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic pathways. Previously, we showed that Pgc-1α repression and high-fat diet induce drastic AMD-like phenotypes in mice. Our recent data revealed that Pgc-1α repression alone can also induce retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retinal dysfunction in mice, and its inhibition in vitro results in lipid droplet accumulation in human RPE. Whether sex is a contributing factor in these phenotypes remains to be elucidated. Using electroretinography, we demonstrate that sex could influence RPE function during aging independent of Pgc-1α in wild-type (WT) mice. We further show that Pgc-1α repression exacerbates RPE and retinal dysfunction in females compared to aged-match male mice. Gene expression analyses revealed that Pgc-1α differentially regulates genes related to antioxidant enzymes and mitochondrial dynamics in males and females. RPE flat mounts immunolabeled with TOMM20 and DRP1 indicated a sex-dependent role for Pgc-1α in regulating mitochondrial fission. Analyses of mitochondrial network morphology suggested sex-dependent effects of Pgc-1α repression on mitochondrial dynamics. Together, our study demonstrates that inhibition of Pgc-1α induces a sex-dependent decline in RPE and retinal function in mice. These observations on the sex-dependent regulation of RPE and retinal function could offer novel insights into targeted therapeutic approaches for age-related RPE and retinal degeneration.
