Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication that is found due to the condition of diabetes mellitus. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of anti receptor advanced glycation end products on survival pericytes by assessing apoptotic activity and the number of pericytes. This research is an in vivo study that used Sprague-Dawley rats as a study object. The rats were grouped into three groups, group 1 was a control group without induced diabetes, group 2 was rats with induced diabetes, and group 3 was diabetes-induced rats who received anti receptor advanced glycation end products injection. Advanced glycation end-products accumulation was evaluated by the immunohistochemistry method. Apoptotic cells are detected by conjugated streptavidin peroxidase in retinal vascular digests. The diabetic rats showed a 32% increase in body weight than the control group from the metabolic parameter. While anti receptor advanced glycation end group only gained weight 28% higher than the standard group. The immunohistochemistry examination showed that the accumulation of advanced glycation end products was found in the retinal vessels and inner neural retina in the diabetic retinopathy group. In conclusion, anti receptor advanced glycation end products administration can prevent pericyte cell loss in retinal vessels via inhibition of apoptosis and oxidative stress due to inhibition of advanced glycation end products and their receptor interactions in pericyte cells.

 

Keywords: anti receptor advanced glycation end, pericyte cell, retinal vessel, diabetic retinopathy, in vivo study.
