Overexpression of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase in mice protects the retina from diabetes-induced oxidative stress
Abstract
The retina experiences mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetes, superoxide levels are elevated, and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity is decreased. Inhibition of superoxide accumulation in diabetes prevents mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis of retinal capillary cells, and the development of retinal histopathology. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of overexpression of MnSOD on oxidative stress, DNA damage, and nitrative stress in the retina of diabetic mice. After 7 weeks of diabetes in MnSOD overexpressing (hemizygous) mice (MnSOD-Tg) and in their age-matched nontransgenic mice, parameters of oxidative stress and nitrative stress were measured in the retina. Overexpression of MnSOD prevented diabetes-induced decreases in retinal GSH levels and the total antioxidant capacity. In the same retina, MnSOD overexpression also inhibited diabetes-induced increases in the levels of 8-OHdG and nitrotyrosine. This suggests that MnSOD could be implicated in the pathogenesis of retinopathy by protecting the retina from increased oxidative damage experienced in diabetic conditions. Thus, understanding how changes in mitochondrial function result in the development of diabetic retinopathy could help identify SOD mimics to inhibit its development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
