目的:探讨NgR-Rock信号通路在高浓度葡萄糖损伤视网膜神经节细胞(retinal ganglion cells,RGCs)中的机制。
方法:实验分4组:对照组、高糖组、SiNgR组(高糖培养基中加入AAV2-siNgR病毒)和SiRNA空白组(高糖培养基中加入阴性核甘酸序列)。在培养的第3d观察细胞生长状态; Western blot检测NgR、Rock及F-actin的表达; MTT法检测细胞活力; 利用F-actin免疫组织化学染色显示细胞形态。
结果:与对照组相比,高糖组及SiRNA空白组细胞体积缩小,突起较少,细胞折光性增强; NgR及Rock的表达明显上调,F-actin表达减少,细胞活力下降(P<0.05); 而SiNgR组与对照组相比NgR、Rock及F-actin的表达,细胞活力无明显改变(P>0.05)。
结论:NgR-Rock信号通路激活可能是导致高糖环境中RGC损伤的重要机制之一。

[Abstract]
AIM: To investigate the role of NgR-Rock signaling pathway in the retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)which are damaged by high concentration of glucose.
METHODS: Studies were performed with control group, high glucose concentration(HGC)group, SiNgR group(HGC medium including AAV2-SiNgR virus)and SiRNA control group(HGC medium including the negative sequence of nucleotides). Three days after culture, RGCs was observed by microscope, expressions of NgR, Rock and F-actin were detected by Western blot, cell vitality was determined by MTT, and cell morphology was also detected by F-actin immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS: Compared with control group, in HGC and control SiRNA groups, cell volume decreased with less processes, light refraction was strengthened, and the expressions of Rock and NgR were significantly increased(P<0.05, respectively), while the expression of F-actin was reduced(P<0.05); Compared with control group, there was no obvious difference in the expression of NgR, Rock and F-actin, and cell vitality between SiNgR group and control group(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: The activation of NgR-Rock signaling pathway may plays an important role in HGC impairing RGCs.
