Abstract

Prcis: Alterations in the PINK-mediated mitophagy pathway play an important role in PEX disease.

Purpose: Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PEX) is a condition in which aberrant fibrillary protein builds up in various components of the eye and other extraocular tissues. In this study, we aim to investigate the functionality of intracellular auto-degradative machinery -especially mitophagy- and related genes and proteins in PEX.

Methods: Anterior lens capsules were obtained from cataracts patients with and without PEX to constitute the PEX group and age-matched controls during microincision cataracts surgery. PINK1-mediated mitophagy markers were evaluated on the transcriptional and translational level via RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry analysis, respectively.

Results: The lens epithelial cells of PEX patients were characterized by significantly higher PINK1 gene expression compared to that of the controls (P<0.05). In terms of intensity of staining of expressed proteins, PINK1 (P<0.05), Parkin (P<0.01) and LC3B (P<0.01) were all statistically higher in PEX, compared to the controls.

Conclusion: Altered auto-degradative response -specifically mitophagy- is a component of increased oxidative stress in PEX patients. The role of this mechanism in emerging complications warrants further research.

假性角膜剥脱综合征患者晶状体囊上皮细胞中的有丝分裂证据
Prcis:目的:假性角膜剥脱综合征(PEX)是一种在眼球和其他眼外组织的各种成分中堆积异常纤维蛋白的疾病。在这项研究中,我们旨在研究 PEX 中细胞内自动降解机制(尤其是有丝分裂)以及相关基因和蛋白的功能:方法:在白内障微切口手术中,从患有和不患有PEX的白内障患者中获取晶状体前囊,组成PEX组和年龄匹配的对照组。通过 RT-qPCR 和免疫组化分析,分别从转录和翻译水平评估 PINK1 介导的有丝分裂标记物:结果:与对照组相比,PEX 患者的晶状体上皮细胞中 PINK1 基因表达量明显较高(PC 结论:PEX 患者的晶状体上皮细胞自体降解反应发生了改变:自动降解反应(特别是有丝分裂)的改变是 PEX 患者氧化应激增加的一个组成部分。这一机制在新出现的并发症中的作用值得进一步研究。
