Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is a novel mediator in apoptosis. AIF is a flavoprotein that is normally confined to the mitochondrial intermembrane space, yet translocates to the nucleus in several in vitro models of apoptosis. To investigate the role of AIF in the apoptotic process in vivo, we induced retinal detachment CRI)) by subretinal injection of sodium hyaluronate, either in Brown Norway rats or in C3H mice. Apoptotic DNA fragmentation, as determined by terminal nick-end labeling, was most prominent 3 days after BD, The subcellular localization of AIF was examined by Immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy, In normal photoreceptor cells, AIF was present in the mirtochondrion-rich inner segment. However, AIF was found in the nucleus after RD. Photoreceptor apoptosis developed similarly in C3H control mice, and in mice bearing the gld or 1pr mutations, indicating that cell death occurs independently from the CD95/CD95 ligand system. Both the mitochondrio-nuclear transition of AIF localization and the nuclear DNA fragmentation were inhibited by subretinal application of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. To our knowledge, this is the first description of AIF relocalization occurring in a clinically relevant, in vivo model of apoptosis.
