Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists do not worsen diabetic macular edema. J Diabetes Complications 2024; 38:108808. [PMID: 39018897 PMCID: PMC11315198 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2024.108808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
AIMS There are limited studies on dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-i), and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist use and occurrence of diabetic macular edema (DME). The objective of this study was to determine the association between DPP-4i, SGLT2-i, and GLP-1 receptor agonist use and occurrence of DME. METHODS Proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the change in hazard of developing DME associated with DPP-4i, SGLT2-i, or GLP-1 receptor agonist use. Models accounted for age at DR diagnosis, DR severity (proliferative vs non-proliferative stage), time-weighted average of HbA1c level, sex, and self-reported race/ethnicity. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The hazard ratio of developing DME after diagnosis of DR was 1.2 (CI = 0.75 to 1.99; p = 0.43) for DPP-4i use, 0.93 (CI = 0.54 to 1.61; p = 0.81) for GLP-1 receptor agonist use, 0.82 (CI = 0.20 to 3.34; p = 0.78) for SGLT2-i use, 1.1 (CI = 0.75 to 1.59; p = 0.66) for any one medication use, 1.1 (CI = 0.62 to 2.09; p = 0.68) and for any two or more medications use. CONCLUSIONS We did not find an association between DPP-4i, SGLT2-i, or GLP-1 receptor agonist use and increased hazard of development of DME among patients with DR.

Abstract
Diabetic vascular complications are prevalent and severe among diabetic patients, profoundly affecting both their quality of life and long-term prospects. These complications can be classified into macrovascular and microvascular complications. Under the impact of risk factors such as elevated blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol lipids, the vascular endothelium undergoes endothelial dysfunction, characterized by increased inflammation and oxidative stress, decreased NO biosynthesis, endothelial-mesenchymal transition, senescence, and even cell death. These processes will ultimately lead to macrovascular and microvascular diseases, with macrovascular diseases mainly characterized by atherosclerosis (AS) and microvascular diseases mainly characterized by thickening of the basement membrane. It further indicates a primary contributor to the elevated morbidity and mortality observed in individuals with diabetes. In this review, we will delve into the intricate mechanisms that drive endothelial dysfunction during diabetes progression and its associated vascular complications. Furthermore, we will outline various pharmacotherapies targeting diabetic endothelial dysfunction in the hope of accelerating effective therapeutic drug discovery for early control of diabetes and its vascular complications.

Abstract
Uveitis, or intraocular inflammation, is a potentially blinding condition that mostly affects the working-age population. The cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β, play a role in the pathogenesis of non-infectious uveitis and have been linked to the breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier, composed mainly of retinal endothelial cells, leading to macular oedema and vascular leakage. However, the effects of TNF-α and IL-1β on human retinal endothelial function are not fully understood. In this work, we investigated the impact of TNF-α and IL-1β on several aspects of human retinal endothelial cell biology. Through a real-time biosensor, the impact of TNF-α and IL-1β on formation of a retinal endothelial cell barrier was analyzed. Changes in junctional components were assessed via RT-qPCR and immunolabelling. Cell survival, necrosis and apoptosis were appraised via cell proliferation and flow cytometric studies. Tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β impaired the electrical resistance of the retinal endothelial cell barrier, while the addition of a potentially barrier-impairing cytokine, IL-6, did not enhance the effect of TNF-α and IL-1β. Level of the gene transcript encoding zonula occludens (ZO)-1 was diminished, while ZO-1 protein configuration was changed by TNF-α and IL-1β. Both cytokines affected human retinal endothelial cell proliferation and viability, while only TNF-α increased rates of necrosis. These results indicate that TNF-α and IL-1β are important drivers of retinal endothelial dysfunction in non-infectious uveitis, suggesting that targeting these cytokines is critical when treating complications of uveitis, such as macular oedema and vascular leakage.

Abstract
Characterised by intraocular inflammation, non-infectious uveitis includes a large group of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases that either involve the eye alone or have both ocular and systemic manifestations. When non-infectious uveitis involves the posterior segment of the eye, specifically the retina, there is substantial risk of vision loss, often linked to breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier. This barrier is formed by non-fenestrated retinal vascular endothelial cells, reinforced by supporting cells that include pericytes, Müller cells and astrocytes. Across the published literature, a group of inflammatory cytokines stand out as prominent mediators of intraocular inflammation, with effects on the retinal endothelium that may contribute to breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier, namely tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17 and chemokine C-C motif ligand (CCL)2. This article reviews the function of each cytokine and discusses the evidence for their involvement in retinal endothelial barrier dysfunction in non-infectious uveitis, including basic laboratory investigations, studies of ocular fluids collected from patients with non-infectious uveitis, and results of clinical treatment trials. The review also outlines gaps in knowledge in this area. Understanding the disease processes at a molecular level can suggest treatment alternatives that are directed against appropriate biological targets to protect the posterior segment of eye and preserve vision in non-infectious uveitis.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress plays a key role in the impairment of the retinal neurovascular unit, an early event in the pathogenesis of DR. The aim of this study was to assess the antioxidant properties of topical administration (eye drops) of sitagliptin in the diabetic retina. For this purpose, db/db mice received sitagliptin or vehicle eye drops twice per day for two weeks. Age-matched db/+ mice were used as the control group. We evaluated retinal mRNA (RT-PCR) and protein levels (Western blotting and immunohistochemistry) of different components from both the antioxidant system (NRF2, CAT, GPX, GR, CuZnSOD, and MnSOD) and the prooxidant machinery (PKC and TXNIP). We also studied superoxide levels (dihydroethidium staining) and oxidative damage to DNA/RNA (8-hydroxyguanosine immunostaining) and proteins (nitrotyrosine immunostaining). Finally, NF-кB translocation and IL-1β production were assessed through Western blotting and/or immunohistochemistry. We found that sitagliptin protected against diabetes-induced oxidative stress by reducing superoxide, TXNIP, PKC, and DNA/RNA/protein oxidative damage, and it prevented the downregulation of NRF2 and antioxidant enzymes, with the exception of catalase. Sitagliptin also exerted anti-inflammatory effects, avoiding both NF-кB translocation and IL-1β production. Sitagliptin prevents the diabetes-induced imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant defenses that occurs in diabetic retinas.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a global health problem. Although the respiratory system is the main impaired organ, conjunctivitis is one of its common findings. However, it is not yet understood if SARS-CoV-2 can infect the eye and if the ocular surface can be a potential route of SARS-CoV-2 transmissions. Our review focuses on the viral entry mechanisms to give a better understanding of the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and the eye. We highlighted findings that give evidence for multiple potential receptors of SARS-CoV-2 on the ocular surface. Additionally, we focused on data concerning the detection of viral RNA and its spike protein in the various ocular tissues from patients. However, the expression level seemed to be relatively low compared to the respiratory tissues as a result of a unique environment surrounding the ocular surface and the innate immune response of SARS-CoV-2. Nevertheless, our review suggests the ocular surface as a potential route for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and as a result of this study we strongly recommend the protection of the eyes for ophthalmologists and patients at risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-infectious pandemic of the modern world; it is estimated that in 2045 it will affect 10% of the world's population. As the prevalence of diabetes increases, the problem of its complications, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), grows. DR is a highly specific neurovascular complication of diabetes that occurs in more than one third of DM patients and accounts for 80% of complete vision loss cases in the diabetic population. We are currently witnessing many groundbreaking studies on new pharmacological and surgical methods of treating diabetes. AIM The aim of the study is to assess the safety of pharmacological and surgical treatment of DM in patients with DR. MATERIAL AND METHODS An analysis of the data on diabetes treatment methods currently available in the world literature and their impact on the occurrence and progression of DR. RESULTS A rapid decrease in glycaemia leads to an increased occurrence and progression of DR. Its greatest risk accompanies insulin therapy and sulfonylurea therapy. The lowest risk of DR occurs with the use of SGLT2 inhibitors; the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues is also safe. Patients undergoing pancreatic islet transplants or bariatric surgeries require intensive monitoring of the state of the eye, both in the perioperative and postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS It is of utmost importance to individualize therapy in diabetic patients, in order to gradually achieve treatment goals with the use of safe methods and minimize the risk of development and progression of DR.

Sitagliptin and the Blood-Retina Barrier: Effects on Retinal Endothelial Cells Manifested Only after Prolonged Exposure. J Diabetes Res 2020; 2020:2450781.

Abstract
Inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) are widely used to treat diabetes mellitus, but data concerning their effects on the barrier stability of retinal endothelial cells (REC) in vivo and in vitro are inconsistent. Therefore, we studied whether the barrier properties of immortalized endothelial cells of the bovine retina (iBREC) were affected by the inhibitors of DPP-4 sitagliptin (10-1000 nM) and diprotin A (1-25 μM). Their effects were also investigated in the presence of VEGF-A165 because diabetic patients often develop macular edema caused by VEGF-A-induced permeability of REC. To detect even transient or subtle changes of paracellular and transcellular flow as well as adhesion of the cells to the extracellular matrix, we continuously monitored the cell index (CI) of confluent iBREC grown on gold electrodes. Initially, the CI remained stable but started to decline significantly and persistently at 40 h or 55 h after addition of sitagliptin or diprotin A, respectively. Both inhibitors did not modulate, prevent, or revert the persistent VEGF-A165-induced reduction of the CI. Interestingly, sitagliptin and diprotin A increased the expression of the tight-junction protein claudin-1 which is an important component of a functional barrier formed by iBREC. In contrast, expressions of CD29-a subunit of the fibronectin receptor-or of the tetraspanin CD9 were lower after extended treatment with the DPP-4 inhibitors; less of the CD9 was seen at the plasma membrane after prolonged exposure to sitagliptin. Because both associated proteins are important for adhesion of iBREC to the extracellular matrix, the observed low CI might be caused by weakened attachment of the cells. From our results, we conclude that extended inhibition of DPP-4 destabilizes the barrier formed by microvascular REC and that DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin do not counteract or enhance a VEGF-A165-induced barrier dysfunction as frequently observed in DME.
