Abstract: Objective To observe the effect oftert-Butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) on the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2),heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in high glucose cultured retinal Müller cells;and to investigate the anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptotic effects oftBHQ.Methods Retinal Müller cells were divided into normal glucose group (5.5 mmol/L,N group),high glucose group (45 mmol/L,HG group) and tBHQ intervention group (HG+tBHQ group).After retinal Müller cells were cultured with high glucose for 48 hours,the pretreatment with tBHQ (20 μmol/L) induced the expressions of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and HO-1.The Müller cells were identified by immunofluorescence staining.The expressions of Nrf2,HO-1,PI3K,B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bax were detected by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of retinal Müller cells in rats.Results Müller cytoplasm and nucleus GS showed strong positive,large cell body,abundant cytoplasm,uniform green fluorescence;nuclear DAPI staining round or oval,clear boundary.The expression of Nrf2 protein (t=4.114,P=0.006),HO-1 protein (t=9.275,P=0.000),Nrf2 mRNA (t=7.292,P=0.000) and HO-1 mRNA (t=15.014,P=0.000) in the HG group were higher than those in the N group.The expressions of Nrf2 protein (t=7.847,P=0.000),HO-1 protein (t=7.947,P=0.000),PI3K protein (t=5.397,P=0.002),Bcl-2 protein (t=6.825,P=0.000),Nrf2 mRNA (t=18.046,P=0.000),HO-1 mRNA (t=39.458,P=0.000),PI3K mRNA (t=4.979,P=0.003) and Bcl-2 mRNA (t=9.535,P=0.000) in the HG+tBHQ group were significantly higher than those in the HG group.The protein and mRNA expressions of Bax protein in the HG+tBHQ group were significantly lower than those in the HG group (t=14.998,16.520;P=0.000,0.000).Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of Müiller cells in the HG group was significantly higher than that in the N group (t=39.905,P=0.000).The apoptosis rate of Müller cells in the HG+tBHQ group was significantly lower than that in the HG group (t=21.083,P=0.000).Conclusion tBHQ can inhibit the apoptosis of retinal Müller cells by up-regulating the expression ofNrf2,HO-1 and PI3K.
