Summary

白内障是导致失明的世界。太阳紫外线辐射(UVR)是白内障发展的主要危险因素。远紫外线B诱导白内障动物模型的开发。在这篇文章中,我们描述了白内障的形成进行调查:暴露于紫外线辐射,定量RT-PCR和免疫组化的方法。

Abstract

白内障是导致失明的世界1。世界卫生组织定义白内障混浊的眼睛,阻碍了光传输的镜头。白内障是一种多因素的疾病,与糖尿病,吸烟,紫外线辐射(UVR),酒精,电离辐射,类固醇和高血压有关。有强烈的实验2-4和流行病学证据5,6,紫外线辐射会导致白内障。我们开发了两种麻醉和非麻醉动物的紫外线B诱导白内障的动物模型。

唯一的治疗白内障的手术治疗,但这种治疗方法是无法访问的所有。据估计10年白内障的发病延迟可以减少白内障手术的需要的50%9。为了延缓白内障的发生率,它是需要了解白内障的形成机制和有效的预防地层几种学习策略。白内障发展的机制之一,细胞凋亡起着至关重要的作用在启动白内障在人类和动物的10。最近我们的重点是在镜头凋亡的机制白内障的发展8,11,12。据预测,更好地了解紫外线辐射的影响,对细胞凋亡通路的发现新的药物,以防止白内障的可能性。

在这篇文章中,我们将介绍如何白内障可以通过实验诱导体内暴露于UVR-B。进一步的RT-PCR和免疫组化被作为工具来研究UVR-B诱发白内障的分子机制。

Protocol

1。暴露于紫外线辐射前15分钟的曝光,麻醉一个雌性Sprague-Dawley大鼠用90毫克/千克Ketalar(氯胺酮)和10毫克/公斤Rompun(甲苯噻嗪)通过腹膜内注射的混合物。 将动物在大鼠阻挡,并拧紧而不会造成一个中继线挤压13,直到固定大鼠的皮带。 灌输Mydriacyl(托),10毫克/毫升,在两只眼睛的大鼠诱导散瞳。 将动物,使一只眼睛被靠住一个狭窄的光束的紫外线辐射?…

Representative Results

测量中的变化的各种来源,估计与方差分析,并发现,考虑三个测量每只动物的方差用于测量的时间是在15%的动物的顺序。因此,考虑到整个透镜分析,这是不可能的,以增加的精度。正交试验阐明了统计上显着的对比度,120小时之间延迟的时间间隔与较短的延迟时间间隔的caspase-3的消息。 在体内紫外线辐射暴露诱导的caspase-3的表达。 <img alt="?…

Discussion

本文介绍的方法,使学习在UVR-B引起的白内障发生的分子事件。

考虑,大多数信息可用于在体内的紫外线辐射性白内障是来自实验白化只SD大鼠7日,16日,17日,18日,19后,我们决定在目前的研究中使用的白化SD大鼠。年龄的影响是6周大的。的性别是女性,因为在对男性相比,女性较少有过敏尿。此外,有没有性别差异的严重程度的紫外线辐射性白内障
