Effects of p38 MAPK Inhibition on Early Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy and Sensory Nerve Function
Open accessAbstract
Purpose. p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is known to play a regulatory role in inflammatory processes in disease. Inflammation has been linked also to the development of diabetic retinopathy in rodents. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a p38 MAPK inhibitor on the development of early stages of diabetic retinopathy in rats. Methods. Streptozotocin-diabetic rats were assigned to two groups-treated with the p38 MAPK inhibitor PHA666859 (Pfizer, New York, NY) and untreated-and compared with age-matched nondiabetic control animals. Results. At 2 months of diabetes, insulin-deficient diabetic control rats exhibited significant increases in retinal superoxide, nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and leukostasis within retinal microvessels. All these abnormalities were significantly inhibited by the p38 MAPK inhibitor (25 mg/kgBW/d). At 10 months of diabetes, significant increases in the number of degenerate (acellular) capillaries and pericyte ghosts were measured in control diabetic rats versus those in nondiabetic control animals, and pharmacologic inhibition of p38 MAPK significantly inhibited all these abnormalities (all P < 0.05). This therapy also had beneficial effects outside the eye in diabetes, as evidenced by the inhibition of a diabetes-induced hypersensitivity of peripheral nerves to light touch (tactile allodynia). Conclusions. p38 MAPK plays an important role in diabetes-induced inflammation in the retina, and inhibition of p38 MAPK offers a novel therapeutic approach to inhibiting the development of early stages of diabetic retinopathy and other complications of diabetes.

p38 activation plays a role in the long-term vascular pathology of diabetic retinopathy while its inhibition by PHA666859 in an STZ-induced diabetes rat model blocked the death of endothelial cells and pericytes and significantly inhibited the degeneration of retinal capillaries.
“p38 activation also plays a role in the long-term vascular pathology of diabetic retinopathy while its inhibition by PHA666859 in an STZ-induced diabetes rat model blocked the death of endothelial cells and pericytes and significantly inhibited the degeneration of retinal capillaries [ 71 ].”

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.
