Experimental study on the relationship between protein kinase C isoforms β、δ and diabetic retinopathy
Objective:To investigate the expression of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms β
δ in diabetic rats and evaluate the relation between altered PKC β
δ expression and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods:Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and diabetic group induced by streptozotocin;osmotic shock method was used to isolate the retinal vessels of rats;and PKC isoforms β
δ espression were determined after 2 weeks
2 months
4 months and 6 months follw-up.DR was assessed by quantitative morphometry of capillary bed.Results:Diabetes could induce the translocation of PKC isoform β from cytosol to membrane pool after 2 weeks
2 months
4 months and 6 months
but δ isoform translocated from membrane to cytosol pool in retinal vessels of diabetic rats after 2 weeks
2 months
4 months and 6 months.Diabetic rats showed pericyte decrease and capillary basement thickening in deep capillary bed of retina after 6 months follow-up.Conclusion:The expression of PKC isoforms β
δ varies in different stages of DR
and the effect of PKC isoforms on the pathogenesis of DR is different.
