title: The influence of high glucose on the Cip/Kip family expression profiles in HRECs.
abstract: Neovascularization is the main characteristic of the proliferative stage of diabetic retinopathy. It has been proven that cell cycle regulation is involved in angiogenesis. The cell cycle regulators, Cip/Kip protein family, belong to the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, are versatile proteins, and except for their function in cell cycle regulation, they also participate in transcription, apoptosis and migration. The expression profiles of the Cip/Kip family in human retina microvascular endothelial cells (HRECs) under normal or high glucose conditions has not been described before. This study was undertaken to determine the expression profiles of the Cip/Kip family proteins, e.g., proteins which are influenced by high glucose and in what manner. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses were used to investigate the protein expression profiles. Only p21(cip1) and p27(kip1) were detected in HRECs, and they were located in the nucleus. P21(cip1) protein abundance was higher than p27(kip1) in HRECs. Incubation of HRECs in medium containing 30 mM D-glucose for 48 h resulted in downregulation of p21(cip1) protein expression, but had no influence on p27(kip1) protein levels or p21(cip1) mRNA abundance. These results were accompanied by cell cycle G1 phase exit and a lower cell survival rate. Our data show for the first time that high glucose changes the Cip/Kip family expression profiles in HRECs, which may be the foundation for the investigation of the role of the Cip/Kip family in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.
