Abstract:
PURPOSE:To explore the relationship between LOX-1 and TLR4 in Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) keratitis. To determine LOX-1 and TLR4 can affect each other and regulate inflammation through regulation of the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in A. fumigatus keratitis. METHODS:The cornea and abdominal cavity extracted neutrophils of susceptible C57BL/6 mice were infected with A. fumigatus. The cornea and neutrophils were pretreated with LOX-1 neutralizing antibody, Polyinosinic acid (Poly(I)) (the inhibitor of LOX-1) or CLI-095 (the inhibitor of TLR4) separately before infection. LOX-1, TLR4 and IL-1β expression were detected in normal and infected cornea by PCR and Western Blot, while ROS was detected in the neutrophils by flow cytometry. RESULTS:LOX-1, TLR4, IL-1β mRNA and protein levels were up-regulated in C57BL/6 cornea after infection. LOX-1 neutralizing antibody or Poly(I) pretreatment decreased the expression of LOX-1, TLR4 and IL-1β in C57BL/6 cornea after infection and CLI-095 pretreatment decreased the expression of LOX-1, TLR4 and IL-1β in C57BL/6 cornea after infection. ROS generation was increased in C57BL/6 neutrophils after infection, however, ROS generation was decreased in C57BL/6 neutrophils after infection by LOX-1 neutralizing antibody or Poly(I) or CLI-095 pretreatment. CONCLUSION:LOX-1, TLR4 and IL-1β expression and ROS generation are increased after infection. LOX-1 and TLR4 can affect each other and regulate the generation of ROS in A. fumigatus keratitis. Inhibition of LOX-1 and TLR4 can reduce ROS generation.
