- 概要:
- 金沢大学がん研究所がん病態制御<br />Purpose: To evaluate the roles of CCL3 and its specific chemokine receptors, CCR1 and CCR5, in alkali-induced corneal neovascularization (CNV). Methods: Chemical denudation of corneal and limbal epithelium was per … formed on wild-type (WT) BALB/c mice and CCL3-, CCR1-, and CCR5-deficienct (knockout [KO]) counterparts. Two weeks after injury CNV was quantified by immunostaining with anti-CD31. Angiogenic factor expression and leukocyte accumulation in the early phase after injury were quantified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical analysis, respectively. Results: Alkali injury augmented the intraocular mRNA expression of CCL3 and its receptors, CCR1 and CCR5, together with a transient infiltration of F4/80 positive macrophages and Gr-1 positive neutrophils. Compared with WT mice, CCL3-KO and CCR5-KO mice but not CCR1-KO mice exhibited reduced CNV two weeks after injury both macroscopically and microscopically as evidenced by CD31 positive areas. Concomitantly, the infiltration of F4/80 positive macrophages but not Gr-1 positive neutrophils was significantly attenuated in CCL3-KO mice compared with WT mice. Intracorneal infiltration of CCR5 expressing cells was significantly impaired in CCL3-KO mice compared with WT mice. Alkali injury induced a massive increase in the intraocular mRNA expression of a potent angiogenic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in WT mice whereas these increments were severely retarded in CCL3-KO mice. Moreover, CCL3 enhanced VEGF expression by murine peritoneal macrophages at both the mRNA and the protein level. Furthermore, topical CCL3 application restored CNV, which was macroscopically and microscopically reduced in CCL3-KO mice after two weeks to levels similar to those found in WT mice. Conclusions: In alkali-induced CNV, CCL3 induced macrophages to infiltrate and produce VEGF by binding to CCR5 but not to CCR1 and eventually promoted angiogenesis. © 2008 Molecular Vision. 続きを見る
