Objective

To investigate the effect of angiogenic factor with G patch domain and forkhead-associated domain 1 (AGGF1) on retinal angiogenesis in ischemic retinopathy and its association with autophagy.

Methods

RF/6A cells were divided into the control group, hypoxia group and high-glucose group, and the expression of AGGF1 in cells was detected. C57BL/6 J mice were divided into the control group, oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) group and diabetic retinopathy (DR) group, and AGGF1 expression in the retina was observed. RF/6A cells were then divided into the control group and different AGGF1 concentration groups, and the expression of autophagy marker, LC3 was detected. Then, RF/6A cells were divided into the control group, AGGF1 group, 3-methyladenine (3-MA, an early autophagy inhibitor) + AGGF1 group and chloroquine (CQ, a late autophagy inhibitor) + AGGF1 group, and the expression of autophagy markers, LC3 and p62, autophagic flux, as well as was key signaling pathway proteins in autophagy, PI3K, AKT, and mTOR was detected. Finally, the cell proliferation, migration and tube formation were detected in the four groups.

Results

AGGF1 expression in RF/6A cells and in the retinas of OIR and DR mouse model was found to be increased in the state of hypoxic and high glucose condition. AGGF1 treatment led to increased expressions of LC3 and decreased p62; therby induced autophagic flux, and the phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT and mTOR was down-regulated in RF/6A cells. When autophagy was inhibited by 3-MA or CQ, confirmed by corresponding changes of these indicators of autophagy, cellular proliferation, migration and tube formation of RF/6A cells were weakened by AGGF1 treatment when compared with that of AGGF1 treatment alone.

Conclusion

This study experimentally revealed that AGGF1 activates autophagy to promote angiogenesis for ischemic retinopathy and inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may be involved in the activation of autophagy by AGGF1."xsd:string
