Treatment with isotretinoin inhibits lipofuscin accumulation in a mouse model of recessive Stargardt's macular degeneration
Open accessAbstract
Recessive Stargardt's macular degeneration is an inherited blinding disease of children caused by mutations in the ABCR gene. The primary pathologic defect in Stargardt's disease is accumulation of toxic lipofuscin pigments such as N -retinylidene- N -retinylethanolamine (A2E) in cells of the retinal pigment epithelium. This accumulation appears to be responsible for the photoreceptor death and severe visual loss in Stargardt's patients. Here, we tested a therapeutic strategy to inhibit lipofuscin accumulation in a mouse model of recessive Stargardt's disease. Isotretinoin (Accutane) has been shown to slow the synthesis of 11- cis -retinaldehyde and regeneration of rhodopsin by inhibiting 11- cis -retinol dehydrogenase in the visual cycle. Light activation of rhodopsin results in its release of all-trans -retinaldehyde, which constitutes the first reactant in A2E biosynthesis. Accordingly, we tested the effects of isotretinoin on lipofuscin accumulation in abcr −/− knockout mice. Isotretinoin blocked the formation of A2E biochemically and the accumulation of lipofuscin pigments by electron microscopy. We observed no significant visual loss in treated abcr −/− mice by electroretinography. Isotretinoin also blocked the slower, age-dependent accumulation of lipofuscin in wild-type mice. These results corroborate the proposed mechanism of A2E biogenesis. Further, they suggest that treatment with isotretinoin may inhibit lipofuscin accumulation and thus delay the onset of visual loss in Stargardt's patients. Finally, the results suggest that isotretinoin may be an effective treatment for other forms of retinal or macular degeneration associated with lipofuscin accumulation.

Isotretinoin impairs the chromophore 11-cis-retinal and slows rhodopsin regeneration, which can cause night blindness.
“This impairs chromophore, 11-cis-retinal, and slows rhodopsin (RHO) regeneration which can cause night blindness.”

Isotretinoin reduces the accumulation of toxic byproducts of the visual cycle, such as A2E.
“However, on the other hand, it reduces the accumulation of toxic byproducts of the visual cycle, such as N-retinyl-N-retinylidene ethanolamine (A2E) [16,17,18].”

In the RPE, isotretinoin inhibits two key visual cycle enzymes, RPE65 and 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase.
“In retina in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), isotretinoin inhibits two key visual cycle enzymes, RPE-specific 65 kDa protein (RPE65) [16] and 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase [17,18] (Figure 1).”

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.
