BACKGROUND: An unexpected increase in the rate of severe diabetic retinopathy was observed in the Semaglutide in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes (SUSTAIN)-6 clinical trial. Although this effect was attributed to a rapid decrease in blood glucose levels, a direct deleterious effect of semaglutide on the retina could not be ruled out. In order to shed light on this issue, we have performed a study aimed at testing the direct effect of semaglutide administered by eye drops on retinal neuroinflammation and microvascular abnormalities using the db/db mouse model.
METHODS: Eye drops containing semaglutide (0.33 mg/mL; 5 μL once/daily) or vehicle (PBS; 5 μL once daily) were administered for 15 days.
RESULTS: We found that semaglutide significantly reduced glial activation, as well as the retinal expression of Nuclear factor kB (NF-κB), proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM)-1. In addition, semaglutide prevented the apoptosis of cells from the retinal ganglion layer and activated the protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. Finally, a dramatic decrease in vascular leakage was observed in db/db mice treated with semaglutide. All these findings were observed without any change in blood glucose levels and, therefore, can be directly attributed to semaglutide.
CONCLUSIONS: These experimental findings point to a beneficial rather than a deleterious effect of semaglutide on the retina of subjects with diabetes.
