简介:目的:探讨Avastin与Lucentis对人脐静脉血管内皮细胞(humanumbilicalveinendothelialcells,HUVEC)增殖和迁移的影响,了解其抑制血管生成的途径。方法:采用MTT比色法研究相同浓度Avastin与Lucentis对HUVEC增殖作用的差异;Transwell小室检测相同浓度Avastin与Lucentis对HUVEC迁移作用的差异。结果:MTT比色法显示,各浓度Avastin组、Lucentis组与对照组相比,吸光度值具有统计学差异(P〈0.05),相同浓度Avastin组与Lucentis组吸光度值无统计学差异(P〉0.05);Transwell分析方法显示,各浓度Avastin组、Lucentis组与对照组相比,HUVEC迁移率具有统计学差异(P〈0.05),相同浓度Avastin组与Lucentis组HUVEC细胞迁移率无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。结论:Avastin与Lueentis均可以抑制HUVEC增殖和迁移:随着药物浓度增加,对HUVEC增殖和迁移的抑制作用增强;相同浓度Avastin与Lucentis在体外实验中对HUVEC增殖和迁移的抑制作用无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。
简介:目的:研究柚皮素对激光诱发大鼠脉络膜新生血管形成(CNV)、高眼压兔眼血流和缺血大鼠眼视网膜功能恢复的作用。方法:选择雄性棕色挪威大鼠,采用激光诱发Bruch膜破裂后,予10g/L(20mg/kg)柚皮素,1次/d,持续4wk;光凝后2,4wk分别做眼底荧光血管造影,评估CNV的形成。采用彩色微球技术、眼电生理技术检测兔眼血流和大鼠视网膜功能恢复。结果:与对照组比较,10g/L柚皮素能明显增加高眼压兔眼脉络膜血流(P〈0.05),能明显增加缺血大鼠眼视网膜功能恢复(P〈0.05),能明显减轻光凝点荧光素渗漏(75.8%~95.0%,P〈0.01)。结论:柚皮素能抑制激光诱发大鼠络膜新生血管形成;增加高眼压兔眼脉络膜血流;增加缺血大鼠眼视网膜功能恢复。
简介:目的:探讨线粒体膜电位(△ψm)、Caspase3在As2O3诱导ACC-2细胞凋亡中的作用。方法:进行ACC-2细胞培养,将As2O3建立不同药物浓度梯度(0,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0μmol/L)分别作用于ACC-2细胞,用Rh123染色,流式细胞仪检测8.0μmol/LAs2O3作用前、后(24h),ACC-2细胞的线粒体膜电位(△ψm)变化;用多功能酶标仪进行Caspase3活性检测。结果:空白对照组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度最强,8.0μmol/LAs2O3处理组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度减弱,其差异有显著性(P〈0.05);随着As2O3药物浓度的增高(0,1,2,4,8μmol/L),ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加。结论:As2O3作用于ACC-2细胞,可通过降低线粒体膜电位从而引起细胞凋亡。随着As2O3药物浓度的增高,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加,Caspase3被激活,细胞可发生不可逆转的凋亡过程。

简介:目的通过检测Fas和FasL在鼻息肉中的表达,研究细胞凋亡和Fas/FasL系统在鼻息肉发病机制中的作用.方法用免疫组化方法检测Fas和FasL在35例鼻息肉和17例正常下鼻甲组织中的表达.对Fas和FasL阳性细胞的类型、分布特点进行分析.结果1.Fas和FasL在鼻息肉组织中的表达均较正常下鼻甲组织明显增强,差异有显著性.2.Fas在上皮细胞和间质细胞中都有阳性表达,主要表达于息肉表面的上皮细胞和间质内的炎性细胞中.结论1.Fas/FasL系统介导的凋亡在鼻息肉的发病机制中有重要作用,可能是鼻息肉长期保持良性增生的重要因素.2.FasL在鼻息肉上皮细胞中的高表达与上皮细胞的过度增生及Fas/FasL系统的免疫监视作用有关.
