ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of polysaccharides from Ostrea rivularis Gloud (ORPs) in the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its anti-angiogenic effect on endothelial cell. Transgenic db/db mice with DR model were used to evaluate the protective effect of ORPs on retinal damage. It was found that ORPs could down-regulated levels of random blood glucose and fasting insulin, and further ameliorate retinal structure abnormalities as well as vascular network structure. Moreover, ORPs could reduce the expression of VEGF in retinal tissue and lessen pathological angiogenesis, thus slowing the progression of DR. In vitro, the proliferation, migration and tube formation of VGEF165-induced EA.hy926 cells were inhibited with ORPs administration. Furthermore, the expression of related proteins in the PI3K/AKT pathway and angiogenesis related factors were improved after ORPs intervention. Overall, these findings suggested that ORPs could effectively control the development of DR, and inhibit VGEF165-induced EA.hy926 cells proliferation, migration and tube formation, which effects might work through blocking the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
