简介:目的:探讨胎牛血清对小鼠角膜上皮细胞生长和分化的影响。方法:分别在无血清低钙培养基(KSFM)和含100mL/L胎牛血清的KSFM中培养小鼠角膜上皮细胞。比较两种培养基中角膜上皮细胞的群体倍增(PD)。通过RT-PCR和Westernblotting方法检测p63、角蛋白19以及involucrin的表达。结果:在KSFM中,小鼠角膜上皮细胞可稳定传代超过25代,但在含胎牛血清的培养基中,细胞仅能存活3代。在KSFM中,培养细胞呈典型铺路石样外观,RT-PCR和Westernblotting结果显示细胞表达p63、角蛋白19以及involucrin。当培养基中加入胎牛血清后,细胞形态明显增大,呈扁平状;involucrin表达显著增强。结论:胎牛血清可抑制小鼠角膜上皮细胞增生、诱导其分化。

简介:目的:建立链脲佐菌素(streptozotocin,STZ)诱导的小鼠增殖性糖尿病视网膜病(proliferativediabeticretinopathy,PDR)动物模型,并观察在增殖性糖尿病视网膜病发生、发展过程中血管内皮生长因子(vascularendothelialgrowthfactor,VEGF)及其受体(VEGFR1,VEGFR2),金属基质蛋白酶(matrixmetalloproteinase,MMP)2,MMP9表达的变化。方法:C57BL/6J小鼠连续5d腹腔注射STZ(55mg/kg)。末次注射后7d检测血糖浓度。糖尿病诱导成功的小鼠和正常小鼠继续饲养3~5mo。实验结束后进行视网膜病理组织观察,并利用CD31免疫荧光染色检测视网膜血管的分布情况。采用实时定量荧光PCR分析检测VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2,MMP2,MMP9的基因表达。结果:视网膜组织病理观察和CD31免疫荧光染色实验结果均表明5月龄的糖尿病小鼠视网膜组织中血管数目明显比同月龄正常小鼠多。同时,与同月龄正常小鼠相比,5月龄糖尿病小鼠视网膜组织中VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2,MMP2,MMP9的基因表达也明显增加。结论:本研究表明STZ诱导的糖尿病小鼠在5月龄时发生了增殖性糖尿病视网膜病的病变,期间视网膜组织中VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2,MMP2,MMP9的基因表达都明显增加。
简介:目的分析常年性变应性鼻炎的狗、猫上皮变应原皮肤点刺试验的阳性结果,对其他气传变应原的反应性,并进一步探讨环境接触与其相关性。方法总结1022例常年性变应性鼻炎患者采用阿罗格叶7种气传变应原标准化试液进行的皮肤点刺试验;分析狗、猫上皮变应原的皮试结果及合并其他气传变应原阳性的比例;并根据是否有环境接触分类,比较各组在阳性率分布上的差异。结果常年性变应性鼻炎中狗上皮变应原皮试阳性占13.80%,猫上皮阳性占6.95%;且98%以上合并其他气传变应原阳性,尤以合并粉尘螨、屋尘螨阳性居多。其中21.93%和26.32%环境接触狗/猫的变应性鼻炎相应狗/猫上皮变应原皮试阳性;无环境接触组的阳性率分别为12.78%和6.58%,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.01)。结论常年性变应性鼻炎的狗上皮及猫上皮的阳性率位居前列,其中绝大多数合并其他气传变应原阳性。鉴于环境接触对狗、猫上皮过敏的高危险性,变应性鼻炎患者应该尽可能地避免饲养、接触宠物。
