Core Tip |
The formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has been widely validated in pathological changes of diabetic retinopathy (DR). A new vital compound in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruit, genipin, can be used to treat DR and decrease AGEs. Genipin ameliorated AGEs-induced human retinal microvascular endothelial cell proliferation, apoptosis, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammatory injury, partially via the CHGA/UCP2/glucose transporter 1 pathway. Control of AGEs by intraocular injection of genipin may represent a strategy to prevent severe retinopathy and vision loss. Here, we confirmed the effectiveness of genipin to treat DR both in vivo and in vitro, and explored its related molecular mechanism. |
