AIM: To investigate into the potential involvement of pyrin containing 3 gene(NLRP3), a member of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors with cytosolic pattern recognition, in the host defense of corneas against viruses.METHODS: The herpes viral keratitis model was utilized in BALB/c mice with inoculation of herpes simplex virus-1(HSV-1). Corneal tissues removed during therapy of patients with viral keratitis as well as a Simian vacuolating virus 40(SV40)-immortalized human corneal epithelial cell line were also examined.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect NLRP3 in these subjects, focusing on their distribution in tissue or cells. Western blot was used to measure the level of NLRP3 and another two related molecules in NLPR3 inflammasome, namely caspase-1 and IL-1β.RESULTS: The NLRP3 activation induced by HSV-1infection in corneas was accompanied with redistribution of NLRP3 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in both murine and human corneal epithelial cells. Furthermore,in the SV40-immortalized human corneal epithelial cells,NLRP3 was exclusively located in the nucleus, and treatment of the cells with high concentration of extracellular potassium(known as an inhibitor of NLRP3activation) effectively drove NLRP3 back to the cytoplasm as reflected by both immunohistochemistry and Western blot.· CONCLUSION: It is proposed that herpes virus infection activates and causes redistribution of NLRP3 to nuclei. Whether this NLRP3 translocation occurs with other viral infections and in other cell types merit further study. 展开更多

For the purpose of achieving high-resolution optimal solutions this paper proposes a nodal design variablebased adaptive method for topology optimization of continuum structures. The analysis mesh-independent density field, interpolated by the nodal design variables at a given set of density points, is adaptively refined/coarsened accord- ing to a criterion regarding the gray-scale measure of local regions. New density points are added into the gray regions and redundant ones are removed from the regions occupied by purely solid/void phases for decreasing the number of de- sign variables. A penalization factor adaptivity technique is employed-to prevent premature convergence of the optimiza- tion iterations. Such an adaptive scheme not only improves the structural boundary description quality, but also allows for sufficient further topological evolution of the structural layout in higher adaptivity levels and thus essentially enables high-resolution solutions. Moreover, compared with the case with uniformly and finely distributed density points, the proposed adaptive method can achieve a higher numerical efficiency of the optimization process. 展开更多

AIM:To solidify the involvement of Saa-related pathway in corneal neovascularization(CorNV).The pathogenesis of inflammatory CorNV is not fully understood yet,and our previous study implicated that serum amyloid A(Saa)1(Saa1)and Saa3 were among the genes up-regulated upon CorNV induction in mice.METHODS:Microarray data obtained during our profiling project on CorNV were analyzed for the genes encoding the four SAA family members(Saa1-4),six reported SAA receptors(formyl peptide receptor 2,Tlr2,Tlr4,Cd36,Scarb1,P2rx7)and seven matrix metallopeptidases(Mmp)1a,1b,2,3,9,10,13reportedly to be expressed upon SAA pathway activation.The baseline expression or changes of interested genes were further confirmed in animals with CorNV using molecular or histological methods.CorNV was induced in Balb/c and C57BL/6 mice by placing either three interrupted 10-0 sutures or a 2 mm filter paper soaked with sodium hydroxide in the central area of the cornea.At desired time points,the corneas were harvested for histology examination or for extraction of mRNA and protein.The mRNA levels of Saa1,Saa3,Fpr2,Mmp2and Mmp3 in corneas were detected using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR,and SAA3 protein in tissues detected using immunohistochemistry or western blotting.RESULTS:Microarray data analysis revealed that Saa1,Saa3,Fpr2,Mmp2,Mmp3 messengers were readily detected in normal corneas and significantly upregulated upon CorNV induction.The changes of these five genes were confirmed with real-time PCR assay.Onthe contrary,other SAA members(Saa2,Saa4),other SAA receptors(Tlr2,Tlr4,Cd36,P2rx7,etc),or other Mmps(Mmp1a,Mmp1b,Mmp9,Mmp10,Mmp13)did not show consistent changes.Immunohistochemistry study and western blotting further confirmed the expression of SAA3 products in normal corneas as well as their upregulation in corneas with CorNV.CONCLUSION:SAA-FPR2 pathway composing genes were expressed in normal murine corneas and,upon inflammatory stimuli challenge to the corneas,their expressions were up-regulated,suggesting their roles in pathogenesis of CorNV.The potential usefulness of SAA-FPR2 targets in future management of CorNVrelated diseases deserves investigation. 展开更多

AIM: To research the two homologous predicted proline -rich protein genes, Mus musculus predicted gene 4736 (MP4) and proline-rich protein BstNI subfamily 1 (Prb1) which were significantly upregulated in cultured corneal organs when encountering fungal pathogen preparations. This study was to confirm the expression and potential functions of these two genes in ocular surface. METHODS: A Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis model was established in Balb/c mice. One day post infection, mRNA level of MP4 was measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and MP4 protein detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or Western blot using a customized polyclonal anti -MP4 antibody preparation. Lacrimal glands from normal mice were also subjected to IHC staining for MP4. An online bioinformatics program, BioGPS, was utilized to screen public data to determine other potential locations of MP4. RESULTS: One day after keratitis induction, MP4 was upregulated in the corneas at both mRNA level as measured using real -time PCR and protein levels as measured using Western blot and IHC. BioGPS analysis of public data suggested that the MP4 gene was most abundantly expressed in the lacrimal glands, and IHC revealed that normal murine lacrimal glands were positive for MP4 staining. CONCLUSION: MP4 and Prb1 are closely related with the physiology and pathological processes of the ocular surface. Considering the significance of ocular surface abnormalities like dry eye, we propose that MP4 and Prb1 contribute to homeostasis of ocular surface, and deserve more extensive functional and disease correlation studies. 展开更多
