Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide in the retina: focus on the retinoprotective effects

Abstract: Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neurotrophic and neuroprotective peptide that has been shown to exert protective effects against different neuronal injuries, such as traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, models of neurodegenerative diseases, and cerebral ischemia. PACAP and its receptors are present in the retina. In this study, we summarize the current knowledge on retinal PACAP with focus on the retinoprotective effects. Results of histological, immunohistochemical, and mole… Show more

“…Intraocular PACAP injection markedly attenuated diabetic retinal injury: increased levels of the anti-apoptotic p-Akt, p-ERK1, p-ERK2, PKC, Bcl-2, while decreased levels of the pro-apoptotic p-p38MAPK and activated caspases (8,3,12) were detected. The number of apoptotic cells increased in all nuclear layers of diabetic retinas, but signifi cantly decreased after PACAP treatment.…”

“…PACAP is known to protect the retina against a variety of insults [56]. In particular, a neuroprotective effect of PACAP against retinal ganglion cell loss induced by ischemia following high intraocular pressure in the rat has been reported recently [57].…”

“…Since retinal neuronal damage in ischemic conditions is likely to depend, at least in part, by excessive glutamate release, it is interesting to note that PACAP protects against NMDA induced retinal damage [59]. In general, PACAP acts by activating antiapoptotic and inhibiting proapoptotic signaling pathways in the retina [56]. Indeed, the retinoprotective effects of PACAP are not phenotype-specific, but it rather influences general cytoprotective pathways irrespective of the neuronal subtypes in the retina subjected to the effects of ischemia [60].…”

“…It attenuates retinal damage in excitotoxic, ischemic, traumatic, and UV light-induced retinal degeneration (Atlasz et al, 2010;Varga et al, 2011). Several lines of evidence suggest that PACAP might have therapeutic potential in the treatment of diabetes (Yamamoto et al, 2003) because of its effects on insulin secretion protection during b cell damage induced by various insults.…”

“…s0230 4.2.2 Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide p1000 Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a member of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)/secretin/glucagon peptide superfamily, is a neuropeptide with highly potent neuroprotective and general cytoprotective effects. PACAP and its receptors (PAC1, VPAC1, and VPAC2) occur in the retina (Atlasz et al, 2010), specifically in all retinal layers except the photoreceptors (Seki et al, 2000).…”
