In order to investigate the effects of TGF-beta1 on the expression of MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, the third-sixth passage cultured RPE cells were treated with TGF-beta1 at different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10 ng/mL), the expression of MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR assays. MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 mRNA were expressed in the cultured RPE cells. The values of MMP-2/beta-actin in the cells treated with 0.1, 1.0, 10 ng/mL TGF-beta1 were 1.04 +/- 0.04, 1.07 +/- 0.02 and 1.11 +/- 0.03, respectively, significantly higher than in the control group (0.96 +/- 0.03, P < 0.05-0.01). The expression of MMP-2 mRNA could be up-regulated by TGF-beta1, in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of MMP-9 mRNA in the cultured RPE cells was slightly up-regulated by various TGF-beta1 concentrations treatment. The values of TIMP-1/beta-actin in the cells treated with 0.01 and 0.1 ng/ mL TGF-beta1 were 0.85 +/- 0.01 and 0.97 +/- 0.02 respectively, significantly lower than in the control group (1.07 +/- 0.04, P < 0.01), indicating that the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was down-regulated by TGF-beta1 at low concentrations. But along with the increase of TGF-beta1 concentrations (1.0 and 10 ng/mL), the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was slightly up-regulated, not significantly different from that in the control group (P > 0.05). It was concluded that TGF-beta1 might play an important role in the up-regulation of the expression of MMP-2 in RPE cells and result in a directional shift in the balance between MMP and TIMP. This may be facilitated for RPE cells to migrate in the pathogenesis of vitreoretinopathy.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlations between symptom-based principal factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the effect of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine on RA after factor analysis of RA symptoms. METHODS: Four hundred and thirteen RA patients from 9 clinical centers were included in the clinical trial. They were randomly divided into Western medicine (WM) treated group with 204 cases and traditional Chinese medicine (CM) treated group with 209 cases. A complete physical examination and 18 common clinical manifestations were recorded before the randomization and after the treatment. The WM therapy included voltaren extended action tablet, methotrexate and sulfasalazine. The CM therapy included glucosidorum Tripterygll totorum tablet and Yishen Juanbi Tablet. The American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) was used for efficacy evaluation. All data were analyzed on SAS 8.2 statistical package. Eighteen symptoms in the RA patients were analyzed by factor analysis and the relationships between the factors and effects were analyzed with Chi-Square test. RESULTS: Four principal factors were obtained from the analysis results of the 18 symptoms. The factors could represent the symptoms related to joints, cold-syndrome, deficiency syndrome and heat-syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), respectively. The effect of WM therapy was better than CM therapy. After 12 weeks of treatment, the effect of CM on patients without deficiency-syndrome was better than the patients with deficiency-syndrome. After 24 weeks of treatment, WM therapy showed better effect on patients with cold syndrome than patients without cold syndrome. CONCLUSION: The results based on the factor analysis of RA symptoms are similar to the results of syndrome differentiation of TCM, and the factor-related different categories of symptoms are associated with the curative effect, thus further research on the symptoms is necessary.
