- W3044893153 abstract "Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness with limited effective treatment. Although the pathogenesis of this disease is complex and not fully understood, the oxidative damage caused by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has been considered as a major cause. Autophagy is essential for the degradation of cellular components damaged by ROS, and its dysregulation has been implicated in AMD pathogenesis. Therefore, strategies aiming to boost autophagy could be effective in protecting RPE cells from oxidative damage. Metformin is the first-line anti-type 2 diabetes drug and has been reported to stimulate autophagy in many tissues. We therefore hypothesized that metformin may be able to protect RPE cells against H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage by autophagy activation. In the present study, we found that metformin attenuated H 2 O 2 -induced cell viability loss, apoptosis, elevated ROS levels, and the collapse of the mitochondria membrane potential in D407 cells. Autophagy was stimulated by metformin, and inhibition of autophagy by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ) or knockdown of Beclin1 and LC3B blocked the protective effects of metformin. In addition, we showed that metformin could activate the AMPK pathway, whereas both pharmacological and genetic inhibitions of AMPK blocked the autophagy-stimulating and protective effects of metformin. Metformin conferred a similar protection against H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage in primary cultured human RPE cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that metformin could protect RPE cells from H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage by stimulating autophagy via the activation of the AMPK pathway, supporting its potential use in the prevention and treatment of AMD." @default.
