Endothelins Inhibit Osmotic Swelling of Rat Retinal Glial and Bipolar Cells by Activation of Growth Factor Signaling

Abstract: Water accumulation in retinal glial (Müller) and neuronal cells resulting in cellular swelling contributes to the development of retinal edema and neurodegeneration. Here, we show that endothelin-1 (ET-1) dose-dependently inhibits the hypoosmotic swelling of Müller cells in freshly isolated retinal slices of control and diabetic rats, with a maximal inhibition at 100 nM. Osmotic Müller cell swelling was also inhibited by ET-2. The effect of ET-1 was mediated by activation of ET and ET receptors resulting in tr… Show more

“…Visual system. Similar findings were reported in the visual system, where Vogler et al (35) found that ET-1 inhibits osmotic swelling of rat retinal glial and bipolar cells by activation of growth factors and that this effect was associated with release of ATP and activation of P2Y 1 receptor. Collectively, these findings suggest a potential cooperative interaction between P2 and ET-1 signaling in different physiological functions.…”

“…These cells were collected from transgenic rats carrying a temperature-sensitive SV40 large T-antigen gene [21,22]. The TR-MUL5 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 33°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 /air.…”
