AIM:To investigate the effects of estrogen on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases-2(MMP-2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2(TIMP-2) and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) in cultured human corneal stromal cells.METHODS: Inflammatory environments of human corneal stromal cells were simulated by using 1.5ng/mL IL-1β.The cells were then treated with or without different concentrations of estrogen(0, 1×10-4, 1×10-6, 1×10-8, 1×10-10mol/L estradiol)in vitro.Cell viability was evaluated by MTT.Expression levels of MMP-2, TIMP-2 and TGF-β1 proteins were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS:Estrogen did not affect the viability of human corneal stromal cells.Compared with the control group, expression levels of MMP-2 and TGF-β1 proteins in E2 treatment group significantly decreased after being treated with estrogen, while the expression level of TIMP-2 significantly increased.CONCLUSION: Estrogen could, to some extent, down-regulate the expression of MMP-2 and TGF-β1 and up-regulate the expression of TIMP-2, which might contribute to protecting human cornea.

Objective To explore the influencing factors for the purity and viability of primary cultured cortical neurons of rat,and optimize the separating and cultivating conditions of the cortical neurons.Methods The primary cotical neurons were cultured in a serum-free culture system of B27-supplemented neurobasal medium.The differences in purity and viability of primary cultured neurons between embr-yonic rat group and newborn rat [postnatal 24 h and 5 d] group were evaluated by morphology,immunocytochemistry of neuron-specific enolase(NSE) and trypan blue staining.The changes of neurons purity and viability in different trypsin digestion time(0 min,5 min and 15 min) at different environment temperatures(20 ℃ and 30 ℃) were assessed by immunocytochemistry and trypan blue staining.Results The primary cultured neurons from fetal and newborn rats grew well.There was no significant difference in embryonic rat and postnatal 1 d newborn rat group[(91.30?1.03)%,(89.50?1.78)% respectively in purity;and(98.20?0.58)%,(97.10?0.98)% respectively in viability].The neurons from 5-days newborn rat were inferior to that from fetal and 1-day newborn rat in purity and viability[(82.00?1.25)% and(92.87?1.56)% respectively].Shortening operation time and adjusting digestion time according to the environment temperatures could improve neuronal viability:A digestion for 15min at the environment temperature of 20 ℃ or for 5 min at 30 ℃ could acquired cells with higher viability [(98.20?0.58)% and(96.70?0.64)% respectively].Conclusions It is an easy,practical choice to culture priamry cortical neurons from postnatal 1 d newborn rats.Optimizing the separating and cultivating condition(environment temperatures,digest time,et al.) will improve the neurons purity and viability.

Objective To investigate the effect of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in subarachnoid space on chronic neuropathic pain in rats. Methods One hundred and forty female SD rats weighing 180-200 g were used in this study. Chronic neuropathic pain (NP) was induced by ligation and separation of tibial and common fibular nerves (SNI). Two weeks after the surgery the animals were randomly divided into4 groups (n=35 each):group Ⅰ NP; group Ⅱ NP+ MSC (MSCs); group Ⅲ NP+ phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and group Ⅳ NP+ bone marrow monocyte (BNMCs). MSCs 10 μl, PBS 10 μl and BNMCs 10 μl were injected into subaraclmoid space at 2 weeks after surgery in group Ⅱ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ respectively. Paw withdrawal threshold to yon Frey filament stimulation (PWT) was measured before surgery (T0, baseline), at 2 weeks after surgery (T1) and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks after subarachnoid injection (T2-6). Five animals were killed at T1-6 in each group and their lumbar enlargements were removed for determination of BDNF mRNA expression. Results PWT was significantly decreased by SNI at T1 in all 4 groups, and at T2-6 in group Ⅰ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ as compared with the baseline at T0 (P ＜ 0.05). Subarachnoid MSC transplantation significantly reduced mechanical hyperalgesia at T2-6 and up-regulated BDNF mRNA expression at T2-4 as compared with that at T1 (P ＜0.05). There was no significant change in PWT and BDNF mRNA expression after subarachnoid PBS and BNMCs injection in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P ＞ 0.05). Compared with group Ⅰ , PWT was significantly increased and BDNF mRNA expression was up-regulated in group Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05), but no significant change in PBS and BNMCs was found in group Ⅲ (P ＞ 0.05) .Conclusion Up-regulation of BDNF mRNA expression in the spinal cord may be involved in the amelioration of chronic neuropathic pain by subarachnoid bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation.

BackgroundPterygium is an ocular surface disease of abnormal cell proliferative kind and angiogenesis plays an important role in its development and recurrence.Several anti-angiogenic therapies have been used to treat pterygium,but there very few studtes for the in vivo observation of the microvessles in pterygium.ObjectiveThis study was to observe angiogenesis in pterygium with a high-resolution confocal microscope in vivo and to perform immunohistochemical study in vitro.MethodsA prospective case-controlled study was designed.Twenty eyes of 20 consecutive patients with primary pterygia and 20 age- and sex-matched patients with inner eye diseases and strabismus with normal conjunctiva were enrolled in this study.An in vivo confocal microscopy imaging system (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph Ⅱ Rostock Cornea Module) was used to collect microvascular pictures from the anterior part of pterygia and normal nasal conjunctiva of controls,and then immunochemistry was performed to examine the expression of CD31 in microvessel in vitro.The vascular density values were compared between these two groups.The correlation of vascular density values between in vivo Heidelberg Retina Tomograph and in vitro immunohistochemistry was calculated.Written informed consent was obtained from pationts before any examination and surgery.ResultsUnder the in vivo confocal microscope,the microvessel density was (8929±2993) μm/mm2 and (4202 ±692)μm/mm2,respectively,in pterygium and the normal conjunctiva group with a statistically significant difference between them (t =6.881,P＜0.01 ).Immunochemistry revealed that the expression of CD31 to measure vascular density was ( 21.00 ± 4.06/400 × field ) and ( 6.07 ± 1.75/400 × field ) in pterygium and the normal conjunctiva group,showing significant difference (t =12.312,P＜0.01 ).Positive correlations were found in the vascular density values between in vivo corneal laser confocal microscopy examination and in vitro immunochemistry examination in both the pterygium group and normal conjunctiva group (pterygium group:r=0.649,P＜0.01 ;normal conjunctiva group: r=0.572,P＜0.01 ) ConclusionsIn vivo confocal microscopy imaging is superior to in vitro immunochemistry in evaluating the microvessel of pterygium.The results of this study offer a new way index for further investigation of the biological behavior of pterygium and its mechanism.
