Abstract
Our goal was to explore the detrimental impacts of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) and tetracycline (TETRA) on human retinal Müller (MIO-M1) cells in vitro. Cells were exposed to 30, 60 and 120 μg/ml of CPFX and TETRA. The cellular metabolism was measured with the MTT assay. The JC-1 and CM-H2DCFDA assays were used to evaluate the levels of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ROS (reactive oxygen species), respectively. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, along with gene expression levels associated with apoptotic (BAX, BCL2-L13, BCL2, CASP-3 and CASP-9), inflammatory (IL-6, IL-1β, TGF-α, TGF-β1 and TGF-β2) and antioxidant pathways (SOD2, SOD3, GPX3 and NOX4) were analyzed via Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR). Bioenergetic profiles were measured using the Seahorse® XF Flux Analyzer. Cells exposed 24 h to 120 μg/ml TETRA demonstrated higher cellular metabolism compared to vehicle-treated cells. At each time points, (i) all TETRA concentrations reduced MMP levels and (ii) ROS levels were reduced by TETRA 120 μg/ml treatment. TETRA caused (i) higher expression of CASP-3, CASP-9, TGF-α, IL-1B, GPX3 and SOD3 but (ii) decreased levels of TGF-B2 and SOD2. ATP production and spare respiratory capacity declined with TETRA treatment. Cellular metabolism was reduced with CPFX 120 μg/ml in all cultures and 60 μg/ml after 72 h. The CPFX 120 μg/ml reduced MMP in all cultures and ROS levels (72 h). CPFX treatment (i) increased expression of CASP-3, CASP-9, and BCL2-L13, (ii) elevated the basal oxygen consumption rate, and (iii) lowered the mtDNA copy numbers and expression levels of TGF-B2, IL-6 and IL-1B compared to vehicle-control cells. We conclude that clinically relevant dosages of bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics can have negative effects on the cellular metabolism and mitochondrial membrane potential of the retinal MIO-M1 cells in vitro. It is noteworthy to mention that apoptotic and inflammatory pathways in exposed cells were affected significantly This is the first study showing the negative impact of fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines on mitochondrial behavior of human retinal MIO-M1 cells.
