氧诱导视网膜新生血管模型小鼠中ephrin A家族基因的表达

摘要

Objective To investigate the role of ephrin A genes in the development of oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization (OIR) in mice. Methods The OIR model was established by oxygen induction in new born C57BL/6J mice. Reversed transcript - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the expression levels of ephrin A1-A5 in retinas of mice in experimental and normal control group. Results All of the ephrin A family genes expressed in normal retinas. Ephrin A1 mRNA was significantly higher in OIR group (t= 3.19, P = 0. 019); ephrin A2 mRN A was higher in the 15-day-old OIR retinas (t= 3. 71,P=0. 033) ; ephrin A3-A5 mRNA decreased or disappeared in 12- and 13-day-old RNV mice, and increased in 15-day-old OIR mice. Conclusion Ephrin A genes are involved in the development of retina and OIR.%目的 观察ephrin A家族的基因是否参与氧诱导的小鼠视网膜新生血管(RNV)形成.方法 利用氧诱导新生小鼠C57BL/6J制备氧诱RNV模型,用逆转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCT)检测ephrin A1～A5在模型组小鼠视网膜和同龄正常小鼠(对照组)视网膜中的表达.结果 ephrin A1～A5mRNA均在正常视网膜发育的某一阶段或者发育的全程表达.在模型组小鼠视网膜中,ephrin A1 mRNA的表达量相对于对照组小鼠明显上调(t=3.19,P=0.019);ephrin A2 mRNA的表达量在15日龄的模型组小鼠中相对于对照组小鼠显著上调(t=3.71,P=0.033);ephrin A3～A5 mRNA在12、13日龄的模型组小鼠视网膜中相对于对照组小鼠表达下调或者缺失,而在15日龄的模型组小鼠视网膜相对于对照组小鼠视网膜显著上调(t=3.785,P=0.002).结论 ephrin A家族的基因参与视网膜的发育和视网膜病理性血管生成等重要的生理和病理过程.
