目的:研究形觉剥夺性和光学离焦性近视豚鼠视紫红质的表达变化,探讨视紫红质表达与实验性近视眼之问的关系。方法:40只出生后1周的豚鼠随机分为形觉剥夺组和光学离焦组(n=20),形觉剥夺组单眼戴半透明(半透明薄膜贴于平镜表面)平光硬性角膜接触镜片(Rigid gass—permeable contactlens,RGP),光学离焦组单眼戴-4.0DRGP镜片,另一只眼为对照组。戴镜干预后1、2周各组分别测量屈光度、眼轴长度、玻璃体腔深度,并于上午10~12点钟取材,实时荧光定量PCR观察视紫红质mRNA的变化,Western—blot观察视紫红质的变化,进行对比比较,统计分析。结果:实验干预后1周,形觉剥夺组和光学离焦组与对照组相比各项指标无显著性差异(除形觉剥夺组屈光度以外)。实验干预后2周,与对照组相比较,形觉剥夺组和光学离焦组明显发生近视、眼轴延长、玻璃体腔加深(t:22.20、18.32、19.65、15.78、6.18、11.20,P〈0.01);形觉剥夺组视紫红质及其mRNA表达均增加(t=17.489、14.31,P〈0.05),光学离焦组视紫红质及其mRNA表达无明显变化。结论:视紫红质的表达可能参与了形觉剥夺性近视眼的形成,而在光学离焦性近视眼中作用有限,
Purpose: To investigate the rhodopsin expression in form-deprived and defocus myopia in guinea pig and study the relationship between the rhodopsin expression and experimental myopia. Methods: Fourty guinea pigs were randomized into the form-deprived group and the defocus group (n = 20). Guinea pigs in the form-deprived group wore a diffuser(rigid gass-permeable contact lens(RGP) on one eye since one week after birth. Those in defocus group wore a -4 D RGP on one eye. The contralateral eyes were left as control. Refraction, axial length and depth of vitreous cavity were measured after 1 and 2 weeks respectively. Retina were dissected at 10- 12 o'clock in the morning. The level of rhodopsin and its mRNA were observed through Western-blot and real- time PCR respectively. Result: There is no difference between form-deprived group, defocus group and control groups (except refraction in form-deprived group). One week later, there is no difference between the form-deprived group, the defocus group and the control groups (except refraction in form-deprived group). Two weeks later, eyes in the form-deprived group and the defocus group became myopic. Its axial length lengthened and depth of vitreous cavity appeared deep. The form-deprived groups showed an increased expression of rhodopsin and its mRNA compared to the control groups. There is no difference between the defocus group and the control groups. Conclusion : Expression of rhodopsin might involve formation of form-deprived myopia, but has less influence on defocus myopia. Eye Science 2008; 24: 1-5.
