Objective Research showed that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)receptor antagonist has good role of lowing-intraocular pressure.This study was to explore whether cultured human trabecular meshwork cells express AngⅡin vitro.MethodsThe human trabecular meshwork cells strains were cultured in DMEM+F12 medium containing 25% fetal bovine serum in vitro and passaged at the climbing sheet was prepared.The expression of AngⅡ in human trabecular meshwork cells was examined by immunohistochemistry,and AngⅡ protein was localized by Western blot.ResultsSubcultured cells showed spindle shape.AngⅡwas positively expressed in human trabecular meshwork cells by immunochemistry,showing the yellow-brown granule in cellular membrane and cytoplasm.A absence of response for AngⅡwas found in negative control sample.The band of AngⅡ protein was found at the relative molecular weight of 64 000 by Western blot.ConclusionThe result implies that human trabecular meshwork cells have the ability of synthesizing AngⅡ.It suggests that AngⅡ participates in the regulation of intraocular tension in glaucomous eye.

BACKGROUND:Metabonomics has been proved to analyze and observe the pathological process of rat myocardial infarction and the underlying mechanism. OBJECTIVE:To further analyze the metabolomic pathways of bioinformatics in rat models of myocardial infarction. METHODS:The experimental studies about rat myocardial infarction were retrieved from CNKI, WanFang, CqVip, PubMed and Embase databases. The metabolic products described in the literatures were col ected and summarized. Signaling pathways were analyzed using KEGG database molecular function annotation, the enzymes, translocators and their properties were analyzed by HMDB database. Metabolites pathway were visualized with MetPA. RESULTS AND CONSLUSION:A total of 26 metabolic products were identified in the included literatures and mainly participated in 29 metabolic pathways. Through topology analysis, 5 of the 10 metabolic pathways were selected and regarded as the metabolic pathways of myocardial infarction in rats, including aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis;glycine, serine and threonine metabolism;valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis;biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids;phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. In conclusion, the bioinformatics analysis of metabolites in rats with myocardial infarction show that myocardial infarction is related to the metabolism and metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, proteins, fat and RNA.
