摘要
AIM:To investigate the altering expression profiles of efflux transporters such as breast cancer-resistance protein(BCRP),lung resistance protein(LRP),and multidrug resistance protein 1(MDR1) at the inner blood-retinal barrier(BRB) during the development of early diabetic retinopathy(DR) and/or aging in mice.METHODS:Relative m RNA and protein expression profiles of these three efflux transporters in the retina during the development of early DR and/or aging in mice were examined.The differing expression profiles of Zonula occludens 1( ZO-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A( VEGFA) in the retina as well as the perfusion characterization of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-dextran and Evans blue were examined to evaluate the integrity of the inner BRB.RESULTS:There were significant alterations in these three efflux transporters' expression profiles in the m RNA and protein levels of the retina during the development of diabetes mellitus and/or aging.The development of early DR was confirmed by the expression profiles of ZO-1 and VEGFA in the retina as well as the compromised integrity of the inner BRB.CONCLUSION:The expression profiles of some efflux transporters such as BCRP,LRP,and MDR1 in mice retina during diabetic and/or aging conditions are tested,and the attenuated expression of BCRP,LRP,and MDR1 along with the breakdown of the inner BRB is found,which may be linked to the pathogenesis of early DR.
