Abstrakt: Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell dysfunction and death play vital roles in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) pathogenesis. Previously we showed that oxidative cleavage of docosahexenoate (DHA) phospholipids generates an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, 4-hydroxy-7-oxohept-4-enoic acid (HOHA) lactone, that forms ω-carboxyethylpyrrole (CEP) derivatives through adduction to proteins and ethanolamine phospholipids. CEP derivatives and autoantibodies accumulate in the retinas and blood plasma of individuals with AMD and are a biomarker of AMD. They promote the choroidal neovascularization of "wet AMD". Immunization of mice with CEP-modified mouse serum albumin induces "dry AMD"-like lesions in their retinas as well as interferon-gamma and interleukin-17 production by CEP-specific T cells that promote inflammatory M1 polarization of macrophages. The present study confirms that oxidative stress or inflammatory stimulus produces CEP in both the primary human ARPE-19 cell line and hRPE cells. Exposure of these cells to HOHA lactone fosters production of reactive oxygen species. Thus, HOHA lactone participates in a vicious cycle, promoting intracellular oxidative stress leading to oxidative cleavage of DHA to produce more HOHA lactone. We now show that HOHA lactone is cytotoxic, inducing apoptotic cell death through activation of the intrinsic pathway. This suggests that therapeutic interventions targeting HOHA lactone-induced apoptosis may prevent the loss of RPE cells during the early phase of AMD. We also discovered that ARPE-19 cells are more susceptible than hRPE cells to HOHA lactone cytotoxicity. This is consistent with the view that, compared to normal RPE cells, ARPE-19 cells exhibit a diseased RPE phenotype that also includes elevated expression of the mesenchymal indicator vimentin, elevated integrin a5 promotor strength and deficient secretion of the anti-VEGF molecule pigment-epithelium-derived factor fostering weaker tight junctions.
