ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To investigate the effects of exogenous CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 on human umbilical vein endothelial cells under a high glucose environment and explore its mechanisms.<p>METHODS: The cells in logarithmic growth stage were divided into control group(glucose concentration 5.5mmol/L), low glucose group(glucose concentration 5mmol/L), high glucose group(glucose concentration 30mmol/L). CXCL9(100ng/mL), CXCL10(10ng/mL)and CXCL11(100ng/mL)were added respectively, cultured for 24, 48 and 72h. CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation, RT-PCR was used to detect CXCR3 mRNA expression, and immunofluorescence was used to detect Ki-67 expression.<p>RESULTS: The results of CCK-8 method showed that the absorbance value of the control group increased gradually with the increase of time after adding three exogenous chemokines. The absorbance value of the low glucose group increased first and then decreased, reaching the peak at 48h. The absorbance value of the high glucose group decreased generally. The results of RT-PCR showed that the expression of CXCR3 mRNA in low glucose group and high glucose group was higher than that in 24h after adding CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 for 48 and 72h. The results of immunofluorescence showed that the fluorescence intensity of Ki-67 decreased in the low and high glucose 72h after adding CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11. The change in the high glucose group is more obvious.<p>CONCLUSION: Exogenous CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 can decrease the activity of human umbilical vein cell under high glucose environments and induce the increase in CXCR3 expression. The increase of CXCR3 reached the highest after adding exogenous CXCL10 and CXCL11, suggesting a target for clinical intervention of diabetic retinopathy.
ABSTRACT
BackgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is the result of the cytokine network disorders,the imbalance of angiogenic factor and vascular inhibitory factor is the start factor.ObjectiveTo analyze the levels of CXC chemotatic factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients,evaluate the clinical application value of them in different clinical types of DR using receiver operating characteristic (ROC)analysis and to approach the new way of individualized treatment.Methods This was a prospective research.The gold standard was ophthalmolscope and fundus fluorescein angiography.The levels of CXC chemotatic factors and multiplicaiton factors were measured in 96 cases with type 2 diabetes mellitus (66 cases with retinopathy and 30 cases without retinopathy as control).The assessment tasks were performed for these index and courses of DR with ROC curve.Results The expression of age,course of disease has significant difference in different courses of DR ( F =8.507,P =0.001 ; F =28.143,P =0.000).Compared with the control group,the expression of growth-related oncogene-α ( GROα ) ( t =- 2.172,P =0.035,AUC =0.625 ),whole blood viscosity 200 ( t =- 3.724,P =0.001,AUC =0.904 ) and neutrophilic leukocyte (t=-2.562,P =0.013,AUC =0.577 ) has significant difference in the group of mild NPDR.Compared with the control group,the expression of interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 ( IP-10 ) ( t =-3.591,P =0.001,AUC =0.592 ),platelet derivation growth factor-BB ( PDGF-BB ) ( t =- 3.233,P =0.003,AUC =0.735 ),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) ( t =- 3.617,P =0.001,AUC =0.776 ),C peptide ( t =- 3.366,P =0.002,AUC =0.962 ),leukocyte ( t=-3.201,P =0.003,AUC =0.852) and neutrophilic leukocyte(t =-4.201,P=0.000,AUC =0.852) has significant difference in the group of moderate and severe NPDR.ConclusionsCXC chemotatic factors may act as reactivator in the pathogenesis of DR,GROα and IP-10 may be useful for clinical monitoring of the severity of DR,and evaluating the imbalance state of chemotatic factors maybe a new approach to clinical monitoring and prognosis of DR.
