Abstract
Glaucoma, a prevalent cause of permanent visual impairment worldwide, is characterized by the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). NADPH oxidase (NOX) 1 and NOX4 are pivotal nodes in various retinal diseases. Setanaxib, a potent and highly selective inhibitor of NOX1 and NOX4, can impede the progression of various diseases. This study investigated the efficacy of setanaxib in ameliorating retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. The model of retinal I/R induced by acute intraocular hypertension and the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model of primary RGCs were established. By suppressing NOX1 and NOX4 expression in RGCs, setanaxib mitigated I/R-induced retinal neuronal loss, structural disruption, and dysfunction. Setanaxib reduced TUNEL-positive cells, upregulated Bcl-2, and inhibited Bax, Bad, and cleaved-caspase-3 overexpression after I/R injury in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, setanaxib also significantly reduced cellular senescence, as demonstrated by downregulating SA-β-gal-positive and p16-INK4a expression. Furthermore, setanaxib significantly suppressed ROS production, Hif-1α and FOXO1 upregulation, and NRF2 downregulation in damaged RGCs. These findings highlight that the setanaxib effectively inhibited NOX1 and NOX4, thereby regulating ROS production and redox signal activation. This inhibition further prevents the activation of apoptosis and senescence related factors in RGCs, ultimately protecting them against retinal I/R injury. Consequently, setanaxib exhibits promising potential as a therapeutic intervention for glaucoma.
