摘要:

背景:研究表明环氧化酶2和基质金属蛋白酶2在角膜新生血管的发生中起重要作用,但其具体机制及相互关系仍不明确。
目的:观察环氧化酶2和基质金属蛋白酶2在缝线法诱导的大鼠角膜新生血管中的表达,并分析其相关性,探讨角膜新生血管形成的有关机制。
方法:采用缝线法建立SD大鼠角膜新生血管模型,术后每日裂隙灯观察角膜新生血管的生长情况,并于1,4,7,14, 21 d取材,行免疫组化及RT-PCR检测环氧化酶2和基质金属蛋白酶2蛋白的分布及二者mRNA的相对表达量,并进行相关性分析。
结果与结论:角膜缝线后三四天可见明显从角膜缘伸入角膜的毛刷状小血管,垂直角膜缘切线方向,角膜缝线处水肿;7 d角膜新生血管生长旺盛,角膜水肿继续加重,14 d新生血管延伸到达或超过缝线位置,分支密集并互相吻合形成袢状血管;21 d角膜新生血管变细。免疫组化及RT-PCR显示环氧化酶2和基质金属蛋白酶2于缝线后表达逐渐增加,7 d 达高峰,以后随炎症细胞的减少而减弱,主要分布于炎症细胞胞质及新生血管内皮细胞,两种因子的表达在角膜新生血管中具有正相关性(r=0.981, P < 0.05)。证实炎症相关的角膜新生血管中环氧化酶2和基质金属蛋白酶2的表达增加,并且与新生血管的发生、发展密切相关。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies has demonstrated that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) may play an important role in corneal neovascularization (CNV), but their mechanisms and interactions remain unclear.  
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of COX-2 and MMP-2 in suture-induced CNV, and to analyze the interaction between COX-2 and MMP-2, additionally, to explore the mechanisms of CNV. 
METHODS: The models of CNV were induced by corneal stitch. The development of CNV was monitored daily under slit-lamp microscope. The expressions of COX-2 and MMP-2 and levels of COX-2 and MMP-2 mRNA in CNV were detected by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at days 1, 4, 7, 14 and 21 after operation, and their correlations were analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: New vessels appeared near corneal limbus and grew towards into transparent cornea at 3-4 days after stitching. The stitch sites were edematous. The neovascular thrived and edema increased at 7 days. The neovascular reached to stitch sites at 14 days, and then vascular net formed. Then vessels gradually became thinner at 21 days. Immunochemistry and RT-PCR demonstrated: the positive expressions of COX-2 and MMP-2 in CNV localized in inflammatory cells and endothelial cells of neovascularization progressed gradually after stitching, and involved the entire cornea at the 7 day post-treatment. After 7 days the expression decreased following the decrease of inflammatory cells. The expression of COX-2 was correlative with MMP-2 positively (r=0.981, P < 0.05). All results demonstrated that in inflammation-associated corneal angiogenesis, expression of COX-2 and MMP-2 progressed and closely related to the angiogenesis.
