主 题:lipoxin A4 IL-1β cornea collagen dissolution
摘 要:AIM:Excessive dissolve of corneal tissue induced by MMPs which were activated by cytokins and chemokines will lead to corneal ulcer. The molecular mechanism of Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on corneal collagen degradation in three dimensions was investigated. ·METHODS:Rabbit corneal fibroblasts were harvested and suspended in serum -free MEM. Type I collagen, DMEM, collagen reconstitution buffer and corneal fibroblast suspension were mixed on ice. The resultant mixture solidified in an incubator, after which test reagents and plasminogen was overlaid and the cultures were returned to the incubator. The supernatants from collagen gel incubations were collected and the amount of hydroxyproline in the hydrolysate was measured. Immunoblot analysis of MMP-1,-3 and TMMP-1,-2 was performed. MMP-2, -9 was detected by the method of Gelatin zymography. Cytotoxicity assay was measured. RESULTS:LXA4 inhibited corneal collagen degradation in a dose and time manner. LXA4 inhibited the IL -1β induced increases in the pro-MMP-1, -2, -3, -9 and active MMP -1,-2,-3,-9 in a concentration dependent manner. LXA4 also inhibited the IL-1β induced increases in TIMP-1, -2. CONCLUSION:As a potent anti-inflammation reagent, LXA4 can inhibit corneal collagen degradation induced by IL-1β in corneal fibroblasts thus inhibiting corneal dissolving pathology process.
