Impaired Light Adaptation of ON-Sustained Ganglion Cells in Early Diabetes Is Attributable to Diminished Response to Dopamine D4 Receptor Activation

PURPOSE: Retinal neuronal signaling is disrupted early in diabetes, before the onset of the vascular pathologies associated with diabetic retinopathy. There is also growing evidence that retinal dopamine, a neuromodulator that mediates light adaptation, is reduced in early diabetes. Previously, we h...

description PURPOSE: Retinal neuronal signaling is disrupted early in diabetes, before the onset of the vascular pathologies associated with diabetic retinopathy. There is also growing evidence that retinal dopamine, a neuromodulator that mediates light adaptation, is reduced in early diabetes. Previously, we have shown that after 6 weeks of diabetes, light adaptation is impaired in ON-sustained (ON-s) ganglion cells in the mouse retina. The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in the response to dopamine receptor activation contribute to this dysfunction. METHODS: Single-cell retinal patch-clamp recordings from the mouse retina were used to determine how activating dopamine type D4 receptors (D4Rs) changes the light-evoked and spontaneous excitatory inputs to ON-s ganglion cells, in both control and 6-week diabetic (STZ-injected) animals. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was also used to assess whether D4R expression was affected by diabetes. RESULTS: D4R activation decreased light-evoked and spontaneous inputs to ON-s ganglion cells in control and diabetic retinas. However, D4R activation caused a smaller reduction in light-evoked excitatory inputs to ON-s ganglion cells in diabetic retinas compared to controls. This impaired D4R signaling is not attributable to a decline in D4R expression, as there was no change in D4R mRNA density in the diabetic retinas. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the cellular response to dopamine signaling is disrupted in early diabetes and may be amenable to chronic dopamine supplementation therapy.
