Abstract
由于各种环境因素，眼部表面经常磨损。暴露于UV-C辐射构成职业健康危害。在这里，我们演示了从小鼠眼部表面向UV-C辐射暴露的原发干细胞。活性氧物种（ROS）的形成是氧化应激/损伤程度的读出。在实验性体外环境中，评估氧化应激产生的死细胞百分比也至关重要。在本文中，我们将演示UV-C暴露小鼠原眼表面干细胞的2’，7′-二氯氟乙酸（DCFDA）染色及其基于DCFDA染色荧光图像的定量。DCFDA 染色直接对应于 ROS 生成。我们还通过同时染色碘化（PI）和Hoechst 3332以及DCFDA（ROS阳性）和PI阳性细胞的百分比，证明了死细胞和活细胞的定量。
Introduction
眼部表面（OS）是一个功能单元，主要由角膜的外层和腺上皮组成，角膜、乳腺、美博体腺、结膜、部分眼睑边缘和内侧转导信号1。透明圆顶形角膜层将光线聚焦到视网膜上。这种血管组织由细胞成分组成，如上皮细胞、角质细胞和内皮细胞以及胶原蛋白和糖甘油2等细胞成分。该地区被眼泪排干，也提供大部分的营养。操作系统的解剖位置迫使它与外部环境直接接触，经常使其暴露于各种苛刻的成分，如明亮的光线、微生物、灰尘颗粒和化学品。此因素使操作系统容易受到身体伤害，并容易出现各种疾病。
氧化应激是由于活性氧物种（ROS）的产生与内源抗氧化防御机制3之间的不平衡引起的。ROS分为活性分子和自由基，两者都来自分子氧（O2）通过线粒体氧化磷酸化4。前者由非基类组成，如过氧化氢（H2O2）、单氧（1O2），后者包括超氧化物氧化离子（O2-）和羟基基（+OH）等物种。这些分子是正常细胞过程的副产品，它们的作用与重要的生理功能有关，如信号转导、基因表达和宿主防御5。ROS的增强生产已知产生对诸如病原体入侵，异种生物和暴露于紫外线（UV）辐射4等因素。这种ROS的过度生产导致氧化应激，导致核酸、蛋白质和脂质6等分子的损伤。
自然阳光是紫外线辐射的主要来源，由UV-A（400~320nm）、UV-B（320–290 nm）和UV-C（290~200nm）7组成。据报道，波长和光谱能量之间存在反比相关性。虽然天然UV-C辐射被大气吸收，但汞灯和焊接仪器等人工辐射会发出，因此构成职业危害。暴露于眼睛的症状包括光角炎和光角结膜炎8。ROS的产生是造成紫外线诱发细胞损伤的主要机制之一。在目前的研究中，我们演示了在暴露于UV-C的小鼠原样眼表面细胞/干细胞中使用2’，7′-二氯二氢氟乙酸二乙酸（DCFDA）染色方法检测ROS。绿色荧光是使用荧光显微镜捕获的。细胞分别与两种染料，Hoechst 33342和红色碘化钠进行反染色，以染色活细胞和死细胞。

Discussion
此处描述的DCFDA染色方法使用UV-C辐射处理的小鼠原生眼部活细胞中的ROS可视化。这种染色方法的一个优点是，它还允许研究人员研究UV-C（UVC暴露后3小时）对活细胞的直接影响，以及它们同时枚举ROS阳性和死细胞百分比的枚举。此外，由于染色方法用于活细胞，细胞可以在同一介质中进一步孵育更长时间（数天），以研究UV-C辐射的延迟效应。因此，这种染色方法使得在倒置荧光显微镜下能够可视?…
