Recently, it has been indicated that store operated Ca+2 entries (SOCE) is a responsible mechanism from neuronal cell death
in ischemic injury. In this study, we aimed to investigate that the roles of SOCE in the acute retinal ischemia-reperfusion
(ARIR) damage and the probably protective role of the 2-aminodiphenyl borinate (2-APB) (3-5) in the rat model. Thirty adult
Wistar-albino rats were divided into 3 groups as follows: sham group (n=10), ARIR group (n=10) and ARIR10 group (n=10).
In the ARIR groups, retinal ischemia was performed by elevating the intraocular pressure to 120 mmHg and was realized
reperfusion after an hour. In the sham group, right eyes were cannulated with a 30-gauge needle but not implemented retinal
ischemia-reperfusion model. 2-APB (4 mg/kg) was given i.p. 10 minutes before reperfusion to ARIR10 group. Seventy-two
hours later, all subjects were sacrificed and their right eyes were enucleated, and then performed histological procedure and
evaluation. Histologically, when compare with the sham group, in the ARIR group, a disruption in the regulation of cells in the
inner nuclear layer (INL) and retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL). There was cytoplasmic swelling, vacuolar degeneration and
nuclear pyknosis in the RGCs. In the ARIR10 group, there was a notable improvement both in the regulation of cells and other
findings. And also, immunostaining of STIM1 and Orai1 in the RGCs was more evident in the ARIR group than sham and
ARIR10 groups. The present study shows that SOCE has a role in the development of the acute retinal ischemia damage in the
rat retina and this destruction can reduce with the inhibition of the SOCE by using 2APB. We believe that 2APB can be novel
treatment approach in the acute retinal ischemia.
