Abstract
Lipocalin-2, a siderophore-binding protein, is an antimicrobial, exerting both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions. Lipocalin-2 is also involved in glial activation, matrix metalloproteinase stabilization, and cellular iron flux, all of which play roles in autoimmune diseases. The present study aimed to determine the expression of lipocalin-2 in the eyes of Lewis rats with interphotoreceptor-binding protein-induced experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). Significantly elevated serum lipocalin-2 levels were also detected in rats by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Lipocalin-2 immunostaining was detected predominantly in activated glial cells, including glutamine synthase-positive Müller cells, and ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1-positive microglia and macrophages in EAU rats. Taken together, the results presented herein show that lipocalin-2 is a potential diagnostic marker for uveitis.
期刊介绍：
JVMS is a peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of papers on veterinary science from basic research to applied science and clinical research. JVMS is published monthly and consists of twelve issues per year. Papers are from the areas of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, virology, parasitology, internal medicine, surgery, clinical pathology, theriogenology, avian disease, public health, ethology, and laboratory animal science. Although JVMS has played a role in publishing the scientific achievements of Japanese researchers and clinicians for many years, it now also accepts papers submitted from all over the world.
