| Abstract | PURPOSES: Oxidative processes may play important roles in age-related macular degeneration. Previous studies have suggested that enhancing proteasome activity by pretreatment with low doses of proteasome inhibitors reduces injury from oxidative damage in neuronal cultures. The objective of the current study was to determine whether proteasome inhibitors could ameliorate the toxicity from oxidative stresses in ARPE-19 cells and to dissect the pathways that may mediate these protective effects. METHODS: The toxicity of oxidative stressors menadione (VK3) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and the protective effects of proteasome inhibitors, including MG-132 and clasto-lactacystin-ß-lactone (LA), were studied in ARPE-19 cells. Binding and activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) family of transcription factors were studied using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and a peroxisome proliferator-activated response element (PPRE)-driven dual-luciferase reporter gene. RESULTS: An 18-hour pretreatment with 30 to 300 nM MG-132 or 300 to 1000 nM LA reduced the toxicity of menadione or 4-HNE in ARPE-19 cells. The protective effects of MG-132 pretreatment were partially reversed by the PPAR antagonist GW6471 but not by the PPARγ antagonist GW9662; in contrast, neither agent reduced the protective effects of LA. MG-132 but not LA induced increased expression of a PPRE-driven luciferase reporter gene in a dose-dependent manner. Nuclear proteins isolated from ARPE-19 cells treated by MG-132 had increased binding to PPRE sequences as measured by EMSA. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that pretreatment with proteasome inhibitors reduces oxidative injury in ARPE-19 cells and that the underlying mechanisms are different for different proteasome inhibitors, with PPAR -dependent effects for MG-132 and PPAR-independent effects for LA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
