1.Progress in research of adenosine and its biological products in ophthalmology
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2011;29(9):857-860
Adenosine is an important biological substance in the body. It exists extensively in intracellular and extracellular tissues. In physiological condition, adenosine remains at very low level intissue. However, under stress such as inflammation, ischemia, hypoxia, trauma, or pain etc. the adenosine concentrationwill be elevated dramatically,indicating that adenosine participates in multiple histopathological processes. Adenosine is a natural chemical messenger that binds to four subtypes( A1, A2A, A2B, A3 ) of adenosine receptors and by that, it regulates multiple kinds of physiological functions. Studies found that adenosine plays an important role in the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and coagulation system. In recent years, adenosine has been seen as an attractive option to improve the treatment of glaucoma and retinal diseases. The effects of adenosine in ophthalmology were as follows: adjusting intraocular pressure, inhibiting retinal angiogenesis, dilating retinal blood vessels, regulating retinal nerve conduction, protecting retinal photoreceptors and ganglion cells, arresting the inflammatory response. This article discusses the research progress in adenosine and its receptors as well as biological products of adenosine and projects the application of adenosine in ophthalmology.

Objective To investigate the roles of microRNA-382 (miR-382) in the pathogenesis of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF).Methods Human kidney epithelial cells (HK2)transfected with miR-382 inhibitor (antagomiR-382) were used to examine the effect of miR-382 abundance on cell polarity,as well as to test the complementary relationship between miR-382 and its predicted target gene heat shock protein 60 (HSPD1),which was further verified by 3'-untranslated region luciferase assay and site-directed mutagenesis.The role of miR-382 played in the development of renal interstitial fibrosis and redox regulation was examined in a mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model.Locked nucleic acid (LAN)-modified anti-miR-382 was intravenous delivered via tail vein 30 min prior to UUO,and repeated the dosage 24 h after the surgery.For clinical verification,renal biopsy specimens from 12 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients were collected,6 patients with moderate to severe TIF and 6 patients without TIF.The relative abundance of miR-382 and HSPD1 protein was analyzed by using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry.Results HSPD1 was confirmed to be a new,direct target gene of miR-382 by in vitro 3'-untranslated region luciferase assay and sitedirected mutagenesis.The development of epithelial transition in HK2 cells was accompanied with upregulation of miR-382 [(6.54±0.96) vs (1.12±0.26),P < 0.05].Blocking the expression of miR-382 could reversed the progression of epithelial transition partially.In UUO mice the abundance of miR-382 was up-regulated [(6.89 ± 2.47) vs (1.00±0.42),P < 0.01] while HSPD1 and Trx were downregulated compared with the sham group.Down-regulation of miR-382 was associated with significant decrease in TIF,but increase in HSPD1 and thioredoxin protein compared with UUO group [HSPD1:(0.34±0.10) vs (0.14±0.05);Trx:(0.79±0.18) vs (0.36±0.16);all P < 0.05].The expression of miR-382 was up-regulated and HSPD1 was significantly down-regulated in IgAN patients with TIF.Conclusions miR-382 play an important role in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in human and mice.HSPD1 is one of the target genes of miR-382.The down-regulation of HSPD1 and the decrease ability of anti-oxidative stress may be the important mechanism of miR-382 involved in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.
