Hyperglycemia impacts different vascular cell functions and promotes the
development and progression of various vasculopathies including diabetic
retinopathy. Although the increased rate of apoptosis in pericytes (PCs) has been
linked to increased oxidative stress and activation of protein kinase C-? (PKC-?)
and SHP-1 (Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-1) tyrosine
phosphatase during diabetes, the detailed mechanisms require further elucidation.
Here we show that the rate of apoptosis and expression of proapoptotic protein
Bim were increased in the retinal PCs of diabetic Akita/+ mice and mouse retinal
PCs cultured under high glucose conditions. Increased Bim expression in retinal
PCs under high glucose conditions required the sustained activation of signal
transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) through production of
inflammatory cytokines. PCs cultured under high glucose conditions also exhibited
increased oxidative stress and diminished migration. Inhibition of oxidative
stress, PKC-? or Rho-associated protein kinase I/II was sufficient to protect PCs
against apoptosis under high glucose conditions. Furthermore, PCs deficient in
Bim expression were protected from high glucose-mediated increased oxidative
stress and apoptosis. However, only inhibition of PKC-? lowered Bim levels.
N-acetylcysteine did not affect STAT1 levels, suggesting that oxidative stress is
downstream of Bim. PCs cultured under high glucose conditions disrupted capillary
morphogenesis of retinal endothelial cells (ECs) in coculture experiments. In
addition, conditioned medium prepared from PCs under high glucose conditions
attenuated EC migration. Taken together, our results indicate that Bim has a
pivotal role in the dysfunction of retinal PCs under high glucose conditions by
increasing oxidative stress and death of PCs.
