Flavin homeostasis in the mouse retina during aging and degeneration.
    The Journal of nutritional biochemistry, 2018, Volume: 62

    Involvement of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) in cellular homeostasis has been well established for tissues other than the retina. Here, we present an optimized method to effectively extract and quantify FAD and FMN from a single neural retina and its corresponding retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Optimizations led to detection efficiency of 0.1 pmol for FAD and FMN while 0.01 pmol for riboflavin. Interestingly, levels of FAD and FMN in the RPE were found to be 1.7- and 12.5-fold higher than their levels in the retina, respectively. Both FAD and FMN levels in the RPE and retina gradually decline with age and preceded the age-dependent drop in the functional competence of the retina as measured by electroretinography. Further, quantifications of retinal levels of FAD and FMN in different mouse models of retinal degeneration revealed differential metabolic requirements of these two factors in relation to the rate and degree of photoreceptor degeneration. We also found twofold reductions in retinal levels of FAD and FMN in two mouse models of diabetic retinopathy. Altogether, our results suggest that retinal levels of FAD and FMN can be used as potential markers to determine state of health of the retina in general and more specifically the photoreceptors.
