PURPOSE: To assess the retinal neurodegeneration in type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rhesus monkeys, and to investigate whether alterations of glial cells occur in the early stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: T1DM rhesus monkeys were established by daily intravenous injections of streptozotocin (STZ, 25 mg/kg body weight) in citrate buffer (pH 4.5) for 5 days, while T2DM rhesus monkeys were induced by feeding with high-fat diet. The period of DR in rhesus monkeys was evaluated by fundoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Afterward, the morphological changes of inner neurons and glial cells in the retina were detected by immunofluorescence (IF).
RESULTS: When compared with the control groups, no difference was observed in both T1DM and T2DM by fundus photographs, while slight exudation and effusion in the blood vessels of retina of rhesus monkeys were found by OCT in DM rhesus monkeys. In addition, the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule (Iba1) were significantly increased in both T1DM (P < .01) and T2DM (P < .05) rhesus monkeys. Moreover, the positive expression of PKC-α, parvalbumin, and NeuN were significantly decreased, while the positive expression of calbindin showed no difference in T1DM group. However, only the expression cells of PKC-α were reduced in T2DM group when compared with that of the control group.
CONCLUSION: Astrocytes activation, reactive gliosis, and neurodegeneration were observed in both T1DM and T2DM rhesus monkey models at the early stage of DR.
