摘 要:AIM:To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the influence of hypoxia and alpha-ketoglutaric acid(α-KG)on scleral collagen ***:Meta-analysis and clinical statistics were used to prove the changes in choroidal thickness(ChT)during *** establishment of a hypoxic myopia model(HYP)for rabbit scleral fibroblasts through hypoxic culture and the effects of hypoxia andα-KG on collagen expression were demonstrated by Sirius red *** analysis was used to verify the genes and pathways that hypoxia andα-KG affect collagen ***,real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used for reverse ***:Meta-analysis results aligned with clinical statistics,revealing a thinning of ChT,leading to scleral *** red staining indicated lower collagen expression in the HYP group and higher collagen expression in the HYP+α-KG group,showed that hypoxia reduced collagen expression in scleral fibroblasts,whileα-KG can elevated collagen expression under HYP *** analysis unveiled the related genes and signaling pathways of hypoxia andα-KG affect scleral collagen expression and the results were verified by ***:The potential molecular mechanisms through which hypoxia andα-KG influencing myopia is unraveled and three novel genes TLCD4,TBC1D4,and EPHX3 are *** findings provide a new perspective on the prevention and treatment of myopia via regulating collagen expression.
