Carnosic acid (CA) is a phenolic diterpene, which has been reported to have multiple abilities including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The therapeutic efficacy and potential mechanism of CA in fungal keratitis remain unknown. This study aimed to confirm the therapeutic role and potential mechanism of CA in <em>Aspergillus fumigatus</em> (<em>A. fumigatus</em>)–caused keratitis. In this study, we demonstrated that CA markedly suppressed the growth of <em>A. fumigatus</em> hyphae, the generation of biofilms and the integrity of the hyphal membrane. <em>A. fumigatus-</em>related genes (RodA, RodB, FKs, Rho1, CshA-C and Cyp51A-B) levels were suppressed under CA treatment. CA at 5 μg/mL and 10 μg/mL obviously promoted cell proliferation. In <em>A. fumigatus-</em>infected mice cornea, CA relieved the severity of corneal impairment, inhibited neutrophil recruitment and fungal load. Compared with inactivated hyphae, CA down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of inflammatory cytokines, Dectin-1, NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, IL-18 and IL-1β. Moreover, Curdlan (a specific agonist of Dectin-1) stimulation could promote the expression of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, IL-18 and IL-1β, which could be down-regulated by CA treatment. In conclusion, CA displays antifungal function on <em>A. fumigatus</em>.

Immunofluorescence confirmed increased fibronectin protein expression in the corneal endothelium following TGF-β1 or TGF-β2 treatment. This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of TGF-β superfamily involvement in FECD and suggests that GDF5, found to be upregulated in FECD, may contribute to the disease process.

This most common visual deficit is a result of age-related changes in lens shape and refractive index, which dictate the optical power of the fully accommodated lens. Lens shape in the absence of external loads is dictated by the balance of biomechanical forces between the lens and its capsule. These residual stresses arise from differential growth. However, these stresses remain unknown. This study uses the nearly spherical murine lens as a model for elucidating how these residual stresses may be calculated and which experimental parameters must be measured to enable such calculations. Several key concepts arise from the analysis in agreement with recent studies. It is suggested that the lens fiber cells are poroelastic and that fiber cell compaction arises from biomechanical confinement effects of the lens capsule. It is possible to computationally “recapsulate” the uncompacted lens after growth, then estimate the extent to which the capsule compacts the fiber cells and, in turn, the extent to which the fiber cells distend the capsule. The simple biomechanical models presented are capable of predicting residual stresses in line with published experimental measurements, suggesting that they capture the essence of how the lens and capsule push and pull during years of differential growth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12177,"journal":{"name":"Experimental eye research","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 110331"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143624100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the key characteristics of a pathogenic <em>MYOC</em> mutant is the inability of the resulting protein to be secreted from trabecular meshwork cells. Instead, pathogenic myocilin variants accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum. Typically, localization of MYOC mutants is compared to wild-type myocilin in cellular secretion assays that use immunoblot to detect myocilin in extracellular media, alongside intracellular soluble and insoluble (aggregated) fractions. Here, we implement a new method that utilizes a complement-based luminescence method in which an 11-residue HiBiT tag is appended to myocilin and complements a truncated nanoluciferase. The method allows for highly sensitive luminescence detection and does not require immunoblot. We tested non-synonymous coding variants T377R, D384G, D395ins, C433Y, T455K, and L486F, in an established immortalized trabecular meshwork cell line. Secretion was tested in 96-well plate format, revealing poor secretion for these mutants compared to wild-type myocilin. For assays conducted in 6-well plates, myocilin mutants were accumulated in intracellular fractions. HiBiT luminescence signals correlated well with immunofluorescence as well as immunoblot but is more sensitive than the latter. Overall, our study demonstrates that complement-based detection of mutant myocilin using luminescence allows for facile and sensitive detection of myocilin localization and has confirmed secretion defects for six variants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12177,"journal":{"name":"Experimental eye research","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 110333"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143624003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this investigation, DR was induced in rats with diabetes mellitus (DM) by subjecting them to a regimen involving a high-fat and high-sugar diet, coupled with intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (STZ) at a dosage of 45 mg/kg. Retinal damage in DR rats was assessed by means of hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The serum levels of inflammatory and angiogenic factors were also measured. Additionally, the levels of tight junction proteins, angiogenic proteins, and inflammatory proteins in the retinas of DR model rats were assessed using Western blot (WB),immunohistochemistry(IHC) and immunofluorescence(IF). Moreover, bioinformatics and network pharmacology methodologies were utilized to pinpoint intersecting genes linked to DR and to elucidate the mechanism of action of Phl. This involved screening with Venny, conducting Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)analyses, constructing a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network, and performing molecular docking analysis. The results of this study demonstrated that Phl significantly normalized fasting glucose levels and reduced body weight, thereby alleviating obesity in DR rats after 12 weeks. Furthermore, the serum levels of inflammatory and angiogenic factors were considerably reduced in the drug-treated rats. WB, IHC and IF revealed increased expression of the tight junction proteins zonula occludens-1(ZO-1) and occludin in the retinas of drug-treated DR rats, validating the observed findings.

This reduction resulted in the inhibition of neovascularization. Furthermore, Phl exhibited inhibitory effects on inflammatory pathways, leading to a decrease in cytokine release. The overexpression of VEGF was identified as a factor diminishing brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) expression while increasing the expression levels of inflammatory proteins. Therefore, the results of this research demonstrate that Phl has the potential to protect the retina of DR rats by inhibiting VEGF expression.
