Zusammenfassung: | All‐trans‐retinal (atRAL) is a highly reactive carbonyl specie, known for its reactivity on cellular phosphatidylethanolamine in photoreceptor. It is generated by photoisomerization of 11‐cis‐retinal chromophore linked to opsin by the Schiff's base reaction. In ABCA4‐associated autosomal recessive Stargardt macular dystrophy, atRAL results in carbonyl and oxidative stress, which leads to bisretinoid A2E, accumulation in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This A2E‐accumulation presents as lipofuscin fluorescent pigment, and its photooxidation causes subsequent damage. Here we describe protection against a lethal dose of atRAL in both photoreceptors and RPE in primary cultures by a lipidic polyphenol derivative, an isopropyl‐phloroglucinol linked to DHA, referred to as IP‐DHA. Next, we addressed the cellular and molecular defence mechanisms in commonly used human ARPE‐19 cells. We determined that both polyunsaturated fatty acid and isopropyl substituents bond to phloroglucinol are essential to confer the highest protection. IP‐DHA responds rapidly against the toxicity of atRAL and its protective effect persists. This healthy effect of IP‐DHA applies to the mitochondrial respiration. IP‐DHA also rescues RPE cells subjected to the toxic effects of A2E after blue light exposure. Together, our findings suggest that the beneficial role of IP‐DHA in retinal cells involves both anti‐carbonyl and anti‐oxidative capacities. |
