  • Effects of interferon-inducible protein-10 on proliferation, migration and capillary tube formation of retinal vascular endothelial cells

    Objective The observe the effects of interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) on proliferation, migration and capillary tube formation of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HREC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Methods The chemokine receptor (CXCR3) mRNA of HREC and HUVEC were quantified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In the presence of the different concentrations of IP-10, the difference in proliferation capacity of HREC and HUVEC were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) methods. Wound scratch assay and threedimensional in vitro matrigel assay were used for measuring migration and capillary tube formation of HREC and HUVEC, respectively. Results RT-PCR revealed both HREC and HUVEC expressed CXCR3. The proliferation of HREC in the presence of IP-10 was inhibited in a dosagedependent manner (F=6.202,P<0.05), while IP-10 showed no effect on the inhibitory rate of proliferation of HUVEC (F=1.183,P>0.05). Wound scratch assay showed a significant reduction in the migrated distance of HREC and HUVEC under 10 ng/ml or 100 ng/ml IP-10 stimulation (F=25.373, 23.858; P<0.05). There was no effect on the number of intact tubules formed by HREC in the presence of 10 ng/ml or 100 ng/ml IP-10. The number of intact tubules formed by HREC in the presence of 1000 ng/ml IP-10 was remarkably smaller. The difference of number of intact tubules formed by HREC among 10, 100, 1000 ng/ml IP-10 and nonintervention group was statistically significant (F=5.359,P<0.05). Conclusion IP-10 can inhibit the proliferation, migration and capillary tube formation ability of HREC and the migration of HUVEC.

  • Clinical features of cytomegalovirus retinitis-associated uveitis in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    ObjectiveTo observe the clinical features of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (CMVR)-related uveitis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From October 2015 to May 2020, 14 cases of 21 eyes of CMVR patients with CMVR after HSCT confirmed by the ophthalmological examination of The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included in the study. Among them, there were 5 males with 8 eyes and 9 females with 13 eyes. The average age was 35.12±12.24 years old. All the affected eyes were examined by slit lamp microscope combined with front lens and fundus color photography. At the same time, fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) was performed to examine 10 eyes of 5 cases; 3 cases of 3 eyes were examined for inflammatory cytokines in aqueous humor. All eyes received intravitreal injection of ganciclovir; patients with a history of systemic CMV infection received intravenous infusion of ganciclovir/foscarnet. The retinal lesions in the eye were completely resolved or the aqueous CMV-DNA was negative as a cure for CMVR. The uveitis symptoms, signs, FFA manifestations and the test results of inflammatory factors in aqueous humor before and after the CMVR cure was observed. The follow-up time after CMVR was cured was 3-42 months, and the average follow-up time was 14.28±13.12 months.ResultsAll eyes with CMVR were diagnosed with retrocorneal dust and/or stellate keratic precipitates (KP), anterior chamber flare and cells, and varying degrees of vitreous flocculent opacity; the retina was typical of a mixture of hemorrhage and yellow-white necrosis like "scrambled eggs with tomatoes". After CMVR was cured, there were 16 eyes (71.4%, 10/14) in 10 cases with KP, anterior chamber flare, cell and vitreous opacity. FFA examination revealed that the majority of retinal leakage during the active period of CMVR was necrotic foci and surrounding tissues; after CMVR was cured, the majority of retinal leakage was the retina and blood vessels in the non-necrotic area. The test results of inflammatory factors in aqueous humor showed that interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecules were significantly increased in the active phase of CMVR; after 3 months of CMVR cured, inflammatory factors did not increase significantly.ConclusionCMVR-associated uveitis after HSCT show as chronic panuveitis, with no obvious eye congestion, KP, anterior chamber flare, cell and vitreous opacity, and retinal vessel leakage which could exist for a long time (>3 months).
