Molecular genetic basis for fluoroquinolone-induced retinal degeneration in cats

Abstract: Feline-specific amino acid changes in ABCG2 cause a functional defect of the transport protein in cats. This functional defect may be owing, in part, to defective cellular localization of feline ABCG2. Regardless, dysfunction of ABCG2 at the blood-retinal barrier likely results in accumulation of photoreactive fluoroquinolones in feline retina. Exposure of the retina to light would then generate reactive oxygen species that would cause the characteristic retinal degeneration and blindness documented in some ca… Show more

“…Given the molecular findings for fluoroquinoloneinduced retinal degeneration and consecutive blindness in cats, ABCG2 transport protein deficiency was suggested as the responsible reason in feline retina [16] . Since previously, no case reports were presented for dogs, the present authors may briefly suggest that species difference might be a confounding factor involving the expression of ABCG2 transporters in dogs [16,17] .…”

“…The importance of ABCG2 in protecting the retina from fluoroquinolone-induced phototoxicity is dramatically illustrated in the feline species. Because of a species-wide defect, feline ABCG2 is dysfunctional [6], creating extreme susceptibility to fluoroquinolone-induced retinal degeneration and blindness [5]. Our data suggest that TKI-mediated inhibition of ABCG2 may enhance susceptibility to fluoroquinolone-induced retinal damage in other species, including humans.…”

“…The importance of ABCG2 in protecting the retina from fluoroquinolone-induced phototoxicity is dramatically illustrated in the feline species. Owing to a species-wide amino acid change, feline ABCG2 is dysfunctional, resulting in extreme susceptibility to fluoroquinolone-induced retinal degeneration and blindness [6]. Fluoroquinolones have been documented to cause ocular toxicity in other species, including humans [7,8,9].…”

“…The same group also demonstrated protoporphyria in these animals, indicating a role of ABCG2 in hematopoiesis, possibly through interaction with protoporphyrin IX, which was supported by further studies. Moreover, the functional relevance of ABCG2 was demonstrated in other mammals, being responsible for the accumulation of chemicals in milk [11], or being an important protector of retinal cells against toxic agents in domestics cats [12]. In human populations, certain SNPs in the ABCG2 gene have been linked to the occurrence of gout [13].…”
