Background We aim to determine the possible adverse effects of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) and tetracycline (TETRA), as examples of bactericidal and bacteriostatic agents, respectively, on cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19). Methods Cells were treated with 30, 60 and 120 mu g/mL of CPFX and TETRA. Cell metabolism was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. JC-1 dye (5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolylc arbocyanine iodide) assay was conducted to measure the mitochondria! membrane potential (MMP). The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured using the -2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay (H2DCFDA). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to analyse the gene expression levels associated with apoptosis (BAX, BCL2-L13, BCL2, Caspase 3, Caspase 7 and Caspase 9), inflammatory (interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6, IL-33, transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2) and antioxidant pathways (SOD2, SOD3, GPX3 and NOX4), along with the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy numbers. Results Results illustrated that while all three concentrations of CPFX decreased cellular viability of ARPE-19 during all incubation periods, the 120 mu g/mL TETRA resulted in increased cellular viability. At 48 and 72 hours, levels of MMP and ROS decreased significantly with each antibiotic. BAX, BCL2-L13, CASP-7, CASP-9, 5002 and GPX3 genes overexpressed by either antibiotics. There was higher expression of IL-6 and IL-1B with TETRA treatment. The level of mtDNA decreased using both treatments. Conclusions Clinically relevant concentrations of CPFX and TETRA have detrimental impacts on ARPE-19 cell lines in vitro, including upregulation of genes related to apoptosis, inflammation and antioxidant pathways. Additional studies are warranted to investigate if these harmful effects might be seen in retinal degeneration models in vivo.
