Coenzyme Q10 in the eye isomerizes by sunlight irradiation

Abstract Photoisomerization of lipids has been well studied. As for the eyes, photoisomerization from 11-cis isomer to all-trans-retinal is well-known as the first step of the visual transduction in the photoreceptors. In addition to that, there would be other ocular lipids that undergo photoisomeri...

description Abstract Photoisomerization of lipids has been well studied. As for the eyes, photoisomerization from 11-cis isomer to all-trans-retinal is well-known as the first step of the visual transduction in the photoreceptors. In addition to that, there would be other ocular lipids that undergo photoisomerization, which may be involved in ocular health and function. To explore any photoisomerizable lipids in the eyes, the nonirradiated and sunlight-irradiated eyeball extracts were subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, followed by the identification of the decreased lipid species in the irradiated extracts. Surprisingly, more than nine hundred lipid species were decreased in the irradiated extracts. Three lipid species, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), triglyceride(58:4), and coenzyme Q9, were decreased both significantly (p < 0.05) and by more than two-fold, where CoQ10 showed the most significant decrease. Later, photoisomerization was identified as the prominent cause underlying the decrease of CoQ10. Interestingly, CoQ10 in the sunlight-irradiated fresh eyeballs was also isomerized. Both the visible light and ultraviolet radiation were capable of producing CoQ10 isomer, while the latter showed rapid action. This study is believed to enhance our understanding of the biochemistry and photodamage of the eye and can potentially contribute to the advancement of opto-lipidomics.
