Role of δ⁃opioid receptors in electroacupuncture against retinal ischemia⁃reperfusion induced retinal cell necroptosis
Objective: To investigate the role of delta-opioid receptor (DOR) in electroacupuncture (EA) against retinal cell necroptosis caused by retinal ischemia-reperfusion induced by high intraocular pressure (HIOP).,Methods,2,Fifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: blank control group, HIOP 6 h group, HIOP 12 h group, HIOP 24 h group and HIOP 72 h group. PI staining was used to detect the number of necroptotic cells in rats’ retina at the above timings, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3. Another fifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: blank control group, HIOP group, EA+HIOP group, sham EA+HIOP group, and DOR antagonist+HIOP+EA group. Except for the blank control group, HIOP was used in the other groups to induce retinal ischemia-reperfusion in rats, and the ischemia lasted for 1 h, then reperfused for 24 h. DOR antagonist+HIOP+EA group received intravitreal injection of DOR antagonist Naltrindole 1 h before ischemia. At the beginning of reperfusion and 12 h after reperfusion, EA was performed at acupoints “Shuigou” and “Jingming” twice, 30 min each time. 24 h after reperfusion, the number of necroptotic cells in retina was detected by PI staining, and the expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 were detected by Western blot.,Result,2,After HIOP for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 72 h, the number of retinal necroptotic cells was increased significantly, and reached a peak at 12 h. The protein expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 in the retina were also significantly increased, and the peak of p-Rip1 expression appeared at 12 h and the expression of p-Rip3 was the highest at 24 h. After 24 h of reperfusion, the number of necroptotic cells and the protein expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 in the EA+HIOP group were all significantly lower than those in the HIOP group. Compared with the HIOP group, there was no significant difference in the number of necroptotic cells or the protein expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 in the sham EA+HIOP group and the DOR antagonist+HIOP+EA group.,Conclusion,2,In retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by HIOP, EA at acupoints “Shuigou” and “Jingming” can significantly reduce retinal cell necroptosis and protect the retina, and the anti-retinal cell necroptosis effect of EA may be closely related to DOR.
