Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2005;25(1):88-90
In order to investigate the ipsilateral lymphadenectomy for inhibiting rejection in rat corneal transplantation, corneal allogenic transplantation models were established in rats. Eighteen female Wister rats were used as donors, and 36 Sprague Dawley rats as recipients. After penetrating corneal transplantation, recipients were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A (control group); group B, the ipsilateral lymphadenectomy group; group C, the bilateral lymphadenectomy group. Among 12 rats in each group, the corneas of 2 rats in each group were used for pathological study at day 14 after the transplantation, and the remaining 10 rats were used for studying corneal rejection by a slit lamp. The time points when allograft rejection occurred were recorded and mean survival time (MST) was compared. The results showed that MST in groups B and C was 46.30 +/- 9. 464 days and 44.43 +/- 7. 604 days, respectively, which was significantly prolonged as compared with that in group A (10.71 +/- 1.567 days, P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in MST between groups B and C (P > 0.05). It was concluded that both bilateral and ipsilateral lymphadenectomy therapies could effectively inhibit the corneal allograft rejection. Ipsilateral lymphadenectomy is a less complex surgical procedure and is just as effective in preventing rejection.

To study corneal lymphangiogenesis after corneal transplantation, corneal allogenic transplantation models were established in rats. 8 female Wister rats were used as donors, and 16 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used as recipients and 2 SD served as controls. Corneal lymphangiogenesis and hemangiogenesis was examined by electron microscopy 1 and 2 weeks after corneal penetrating transplantation, and the expression of lymphatic vessel endothelial receptor (LYVE-1) was examined 1, 3, 7, 14 days after the transplantation respectively. In addition, 19 allograft failed human corneas were examined by 5'-nase-alkaline phosphatase (5'-NA-ALP) double-enzyme-histochemistry staining to detect corneal lymphangiogenesis and hemangiogenesis. By immunohistochemistry for LYVE-1, it was found that blown lymphatics were localized in the stroma 3 days after the corneal transplantation. With electron microscopy, new lymphatic vessels and blood vessels were found 1 and 2 weeks after the corneal transplantation. By 5'-NA-ALP enzyme-histochemistry, corneal hemangiogenesis was found in all allograft failed human corneas and 5 of 19 (26.3 %) cases had developed corneal lymphangiogenesis. It is concluded that corneal lymphangiogenesis is present after corneal transplantation, which may play an important role in allograft rejection.

BACKGROUND: Cervical lymph nodes are draining region of cornea. It is believed that aqueous fluid goes through a minor pathway named uveoscleral drainage, which will allow passage of antigen-presenting cells (APC) directly to the draining lymph nodes and induce allograft rejection after keratoplasty.OBJECTIVE: To explore the inhibitory effects of cervical lymphadenectomy in alkali induced high-risk corneal transplantation.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology (No. 2006DA105054), Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University from May 2005 to February 2007. 144 male animals (1-2 months old) including 104 SD rats and 40 Wistar rats were provided by the animal experimental center of Sun Yat-sen University. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits for interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were brought from BioSource International company (USA). The animal treatment in the experiment was accorded with the statement in Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) for animals.METHODS: With the SD rats as recipients, and Wistar rats as donors, all rats were subjected to corneal allografting. The recipient rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=20): group A (control group) which underwent corneal transplantation; group B which was subjected to bilateral cervical lymphadenectomy; group C, corneal transplantation 21 days after the alkali burn injury; group D, cervical lymphadenectomy following group C. The immune rejection of grafts was evaluated by detecting the expression of IFN-γ and IL-2 using ELISA. The time when allograft rejection occurred was recorded and mean survival time (MST) was compared among the groups. The development of corneal inflammation and new vessels was examined by slit lamp microscope and histopathological examination.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①The development of corneal inflammation after corneal alkaline burns. ②MST of rats in each group following transplant. ③The expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ in grafts of each group. RESULTS: ①Normal rat cornea was transparent without inflammation or neovascularization. There were many inflammatory cells invading to stroma on day 3 after burn. Then, the inflammation of cornea resolved gradually 3 weeks after the burn, but corneal neovascularization reached the peak at that time. Corneal blood vessels regressed completely at the end of 8 weeks after the burn. ②The MST of group A, B, C, and D was (10.40±1.14), (46.30±9.46), (7.00±1.58), and (15.00±3.39) days, respectively. Compared with the group A, the MST of group B was significantly longer (P < 0.05), and the MST of grafts in group D was also significantly longer than group C (P < 0.05). ③The expression of IFN-γ and IL-2 proteins was absent in group B. Compared with group C, the expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ proteins in group D significantly decreased on days 3, 7, 10, and 14 after keratoplasty (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Cervical lymphadenectomy therapy can effectively inhibit corneal allograft rejection in normal and high-risk corneal beds after alkali burn injury.

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of small hairpin loop RNA (shRNA) silencing hypoxia-induced factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) gene on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) in human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells under hypoxic condition. Two target sites of HIF-1alpha mRNA were chosen and two kinds of shRNA were designed and synthesized against the target sites. Then the two kinds of shRNA were transfected into human RPE cells in vitro, respectively. These cells were cultured under hypoxic condition that was simulated by using 150 mumol/L CoCl(2). The mRNA expressions of HIF-1alpha, VEGF and PEDF were tested by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). The protein levels of HIF-1alpha, VEGF and PEDF were analyzed by Western blotting. After the two kinds of HIF-1alpha-specific shRNA were transfected into RPE cells respectively, the expression of HIF-1alpha mRNA and the levels of HIF-1alpha protein were decreased significantly in RPE cells under hypoxic condition. The expression of VEGF mRNA and the levels of protein significantly were also decreased. However, the levels of PEDF protein was significantly increased, but the expression of PEDF mRNA showed no significant changes. In conclusion, HIF-1alpha-specific shRNA can effectively silence the HIF-1alpha gene, and consequently down-regulate VEGF and up-regulate PEDF expression against hypoxia. These results reveal that HIF-1 is associated with posttranslational mechanism for down-regulating PEDF under hypoxia and provide an explanation for hypoxia-provoked increases in VEGF/PEDF ratios. These results also suggest that HIF-1 is one of the key cytokines to retinal neovascularization.

In order to explore the effect of high glucose concentration and high glucose concentration with hypoxia on the production of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), human RPE cells were cultured in 5.56 mmol/L glucose (control group), 5.56 mmol/L glucose with 150 micro mol/L CoCl2 (hypoxic group), 25 mmol/L glucose (high glucose group) and 25 mmol/L glucose with 150 micro mol/L CoCl2 (combination group). RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of HIF-1alpha and VEGF mRNAs. Western blot analysis was used to measure the levels of HIF-1alpha and VEGF proteins. Although the small amount of HIF-1alpha protein was able to be detected in high glucose group but not in control group, there was no significant difference between the expression of HIF-1alpha mRNA of RPE cells in high glucose group and that of RPE cells in control group. As compared with RPE cells in control group, the mRNA expression and the protein synthesis of VEGF in high glucose group were up-regulated. As compared with RPE cells in hypoxic group, the expression of HIF-1alpha mRNA of RPE cells in combination group was not different, but the protein synthesis of HIF-1alpha, the mRNA expression and the protein synthesis of VEGF were more obviously up-regulated. In conclusion, high concentration glucose mainly influence the protein synthesis of HIF-1alpha of RPE cell, and HIF-1alpha protein is able to be accumulated in high concentration glucose. Under hypoxia, the HIF-1alpha protein induced by high concentration glucose is more stable, and the expression of VEGF is obviously increased. It is suggested that high concentration glucose may play a role in retinal neovascularization, especially at ischemia stage of diabetic retinopathy.
