چکیده
conclusions il-33 may be a potential new agent to attenuate rir injury by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and preventing apoptosis. results our data revealed that il-33 pretreatment maintained a better retinal structure, inhibited leukocyte infiltration (il-33 vs. mg with p < 0.01 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p < 0.01), and reduced the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (il-33 vs. mg with p < 0.05 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p < 0.05). furthermore, il-33 upregulated the expression of bcl-2and decreased the expression of bax (il-33 vs. mg with p < 0.01 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p < 0.01). in addition, il-33 attenuated nf-κb p65 levels in the retina and inhibited the activation of nf-κb (il-33 vs. mg with p = 0.021 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p = 0.025). background retinal ischemia reperfusion (rir) injury is a common pathological process that can result in visual impairment in many ophthalmic diseases. inflammation and apoptosis play an important role in rir injury. objectives this experimental study was designed to explore the ability of a new cytokine, il-33, to attenuate rir injury via an apoptosis-inhibitory mechanism. methods from june, 2015 to october, 2015, 40 sprague-dawley (sd) rats from wuhan university in china were divided into the following four groups: normal control group (ncg), rir injury model group (mg), il-33 pretreatment group (il-33), and pbs group (pbs) according to random number tables. rats in the il-33 and pbs groups received an intravitreous injection of 2 μg of recombinant il-33 (ril-33) or pbs one hour before the induction of ischemia. histological evaluation, inflammatory cell infiltration, and apoptosis of retinal cells were examined. the expressions of apoptotic-related proteins (bcl-2 and bax) were quantified by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. the presence of nf-κb p65 in the retina was assessed by western blotting.

Interleukin-6 in Retinal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
METHODS. Intraocular pressure of adult male Lewis albino rats was raised to create retinal ischemia for 1 hour. Retinal reperfusion was reestablished, and the animals were killed at various time points after the injury. Their eyes were enucleated and processed for immunohistochemistry to detect IL-6 and ED-1 (a marker of microglial/phagocytic cells), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of...
متن کاملFerritin Prevents Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is induced under a variety of pro-oxidant conditions such as those associated with ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of transplanted organs. HO-1 cleaves the heme porphyrin ring releasing Fe, which induces the expression of the Fe sequestering protein ferritin. By limiting the ability of Fe to participate in the generation of free radicals through the Fenton reaction, fe...
متن کاملNuclear factor-kappaB p65 and upregulation of interleukin-6 in retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.
We previously demonstrated that endogenous interleukin-6 (IL-6) is upregulated and may be neuroprotective after retinal ischemia. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) in regulating IL-6 expression after ischemia. NF-kappaB p65 mRNA levels were significantly elevated between 2 and 12 h after the insult. A high number of NF-kappaB p65 positive...

The anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 is located in mitochondria, but it is uncertain whether its expression affects hepatocyte survival in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This experiment was designed to evaluate the role of folic acid in expression of bcl-2 in I/R in rat liver. Eighteen Wister rats were divided into sham-operated controlgroup (C) (n=6), I/R group (...
متن کاملInterleukin-33 Prevents Apoptosis and Improves Survival
BackgroundST2 is an interleukin-1 receptor family member with membranebound (ST2L) and soluble (sST2) isoforms, and, sST2 is a biomarker for poor outcome in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). IL-33, the recently-discovered ligand for ST2, activates NF-kB and thus may regulate apoptotic cell death. We tested the hypothesis that IL-33 is cardioprotective after MI through ST2 signaling. Met...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Hesperetin and Naringenin against Apoptosis in Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Retinal Injury in Rats
PURPOSE Hesperetin and naringenin are naturally common flavonoids reported to have antioxidative effects. This study was performed to investigate whether either hesperetin or naringenin has a protective effect against apoptosis on retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS Retinal I/R was induced by increasing the intraocular pressure to 150 mmHg for 60 minutes. Thirty-three male Wist...
