简介:目的观察1,25(OH)2D3对高糖诱导牛视网膜血管内皮细胞(BRECs)中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的表达水平变化及对细胞凋亡水平的影响。方法将分离培养的BRECs分为三组,分别为正常糖组、高糖组和高糖处理组。正常对照组细胞培养液含5mmol/L葡萄糖,高糖组细胞培养液含30mmol/L葡萄糖,高糖处理组细胞培养液含30mmol/L葡萄糖和50nM,1,25(OH)2D3。培养48h后收集细胞蛋白。蛋白免疫印迹法检测细胞VEGF及细胞凋亡相关蛋白Bax和Bcl-2表达水平;PI/Hoechst双染色法检测细胞凋亡。结果相比于正常糖组,高糖组中VEFG水平和Bax/Bcl-2比值显著增加;而在高糖处理组中表达水平远远低于高糖组,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。高糖的细胞凋亡水平高于正常糖组,而经过1,25(OH)2D3处理后,其细胞凋亡水平则有所下降,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论1,25(OH)2D3可以抑制高糖诱导BRECs中VEGF表达增加及细胞凋亡。

简介:目的:探讨线粒体膜电位(△ψm)、Caspase3在As2O3诱导ACC-2细胞凋亡中的作用。方法:进行ACC-2细胞培养,将As2O3建立不同药物浓度梯度(0,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0μmol/L)分别作用于ACC-2细胞,用Rh123染色,流式细胞仪检测8.0μmol/LAs2O3作用前、后(24h),ACC-2细胞的线粒体膜电位(△ψm)变化;用多功能酶标仪进行Caspase3活性检测。结果:空白对照组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度最强,8.0μmol/LAs2O3处理组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度减弱,其差异有显著性(P〈0.05);随着As2O3药物浓度的增高(0,1,2,4,8μmol/L),ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加。结论:As2O3作用于ACC-2细胞,可通过降低线粒体膜电位从而引起细胞凋亡。随着As2O3药物浓度的增高,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加,Caspase3被激活,细胞可发生不可逆转的凋亡过程。
简介:血管生成素(angiopoietin,Ang)是特异性作用于血管内皮细胞的生长因子,主要由Ang-1和Ang-2组成;Tie2(tyrosinekinasethatcontainsimmunoglubin-likeloopsandepidernalgrowthfactor-similardomains2)是其共同受体.Ang-1促使血管成熟,维持血管稳定.Ang-2则拮抗Ang-1的作用,始动病理性新生血管形成.在眼部新生血管形成过程中Ang/Tie2受体途径起重要作用,抑制Ang/Tie2受体途径可以抑制眼部新生血管形成.

简介:目的:研究柚皮素对激光诱发大鼠脉络膜新生血管形成(CNV)、高眼压兔眼血流和缺血大鼠眼视网膜功能恢复的作用。方法:选择雄性棕色挪威大鼠,采用激光诱发Bruch膜破裂后,予10g/L(20mg/kg)柚皮素,1次/d,持续4wk;光凝后2,4wk分别做眼底荧光血管造影,评估CNV的形成。采用彩色微球技术、眼电生理技术检测兔眼血流和大鼠视网膜功能恢复。结果:与对照组比较,10g/L柚皮素能明显增加高眼压兔眼脉络膜血流(P〈0.05),能明显增加缺血大鼠眼视网膜功能恢复(P〈0.05),能明显减轻光凝点荧光素渗漏(75.8%~95.0%,P〈0.01)。结论:柚皮素能抑制激光诱发大鼠络膜新生血管形成;增加高眼压兔眼脉络膜血流;增加缺血大鼠眼视网膜功能恢复。
简介:3型Stargardt病(STGD3,MIM600110)是一种常染色体显性遗传的早发性黄斑营养不良性疾病,是一种单基因遗传性疾病。目前为止,已知的STGD3致病基因为极长链脂肪酸延长酶4基因(ELOVL4)。ELOVIA是位于内质网上的一种调节极长链饱和及多不饱和脂肪酸生物合成的限速缩合反应中不可或缺的膜蛋白。作为一种遗传性疾病,STGD3目前仍无有效治疗方法。然而,饮食补充极长链多不饱和脂肪酸可能是治疗STGD3的一种可行疗法。对STGD3基因及致病机制的研究可能将有助于发现STGD3的有效治疗方法及进一步了解其他遗传性视网膜变性疾病和更复杂的年龄相关性黄斑变性。
