PG - 107887 LID - S0014-4835(19)30479-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.exer.2019.107887 [doi] AB - Our previous work reported that minocycline induced inhibition of microglial activation aggravated visual injury in an oxygen induced retinopathy animal model. We hypothesized that minocycline might have aggravated injury to the photoreceptor. Some patients who use minocycline to treat acne complain of visual impairment; however, no studies have addressed minocycline toxicity to photoreceptors. Here, we identified mechanistic effect of minocycline on photoreceptor apoptosis. The results of Cell Counting Kit-8 and Ki67 staining demonstrated that minocycline inhibited the proliferation of 661W cells, and flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) demonstrated that minocycline promoted cell apoptosis. Additionally, minocycline administration activated signaling associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, the pancreatic ER kinase-like ER kinase (PERK)-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha (eIF2alpha)-CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) cascade, which represented the key mechanism underlying the initiation of apoptosis. Moreover, we observed downregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) after administration of minocycline for 12 h (12 hours) and Nrf2 transferred from nuclear to cytoplasm after 6 h, indicating that Nrf2 in nuclear may alleviated the pro-apoptotic effect of minocycline on photoreceptor cells. Upregulating Nrf2 inhibited apoptosis in minocycline treated 661W cells. These represent the first data demonstrating minocycline toxicity to photoreceptors via its pro-apoptotic effects through the regulation of ER stress pathways. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 The Authors.
