摘要
目的观察结缔组织生长因子(CTGF)在兔眼结膜下组织创伤愈合过程中的表达,探讨其在结膜下组织瘢痕形成过程中的作用。方法新西兰白兔15只,随机选取一眼建立结膜瘢痕化模型,另一眼作为对照,分别于术后1、5、9d摘除眼球,剪取手术部位结膜及结膜下组织。将所取标本分为两部分,一部分行免疫组织化学检测;另一部分用于半定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)。结果免疫组织化学染色显示,术后第1d,CTGF染色增强;术后5d时,染色进一步增强;术后9d阳性染色开始减弱,但仍较正常组高。半定量RT-PCR结果显示,术后第1d CTGF mRNA的表达升高,在术后5d时表达最强,至9d时表达水平下降,但仍较对照组高,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论在创伤愈合过程中兔眼结膜下组织中CTGF蛋白及其mRNA表达同期增高,提示阻断或抑制CTGF的基因表达或蛋白合成,可能为防止青光眼滤过手术的失败提供一个新的治疗途径。
Objective Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is one of the most important factors in tissue wound healing.This study was designed to evaluate the role of CTGF in subconjunctival tissue wound healing. Methods Operation was performed on laterial eyes of 15 New Zealand rabbits,and the fellow eyes without operation were as controls.Rabbits were killed on day 1,5 and 9 after operation.Conjunctiva and subconjunctiva tissue was harvested for histopathological and immunochemical examination under the light microscope.The expressions of CTGF and GAPDH were detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Immunohistochemistry positive stain showed the brown-yellow particles in the cytoplasm.Positive expression of CTGF in fibroblasts was enhanced 1 day after surgery in comparison with control eyes.In 5 days after surgery,the stain of CTGF was stronger obviously than 1 day group.Nine days later,the stain intensity of CTGF was weakened but was still stronger than normal eye.RT-PCR results indicated that CTGF mRNA was up-regulated 1 day and peaked in 5 days and began to descend in 9 days after surgery but was still higher than the control eyes,showing a statistically significant difference (P〈0.01). Conclusion During the progress of rabbit subconjunctival tissue wound healing,the expression of CTGF increases in both protein and mRNA levels.It suggests that inhibition of CTGF synthesis may have a preventing effect on bleb failure and improving effect on glaucoma filtration surgery.
