Dexamethasone Inhibits Interleukin-1β-Induced Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Cochlear Cells
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of interleukin (IL)-1β on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression in cochlea and regulation of IL-1β-mediated MMP-9 expression by dexamethasone and the molecular and signaling mechanisms involved. METHODS House ear institute-organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells were used and exposed to IL-1β with/without dexamethasone. Glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, R...
متن کاملPlasminogen kringle 5 inhibits alkali-burn-induced corneal neovascularization.
PURPOSE Plasminogen kringle 5 (K5) is a potent angiogenic inhibitor. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of K5 on alkali-burn-induced corneal neovascularization (NV) and to investigate its mechanism of action. METHODS Corneal NV was induced in rabbits by NaOH. The rabbits received eye drops containing K5 or vehicle alone, four times per day. Corneal NV and ...
متن کاملMinocycline Inhibits Alkali Burn-Induced Corneal Neovascularization in Mice
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of minocycline on alkali burn-induced corneal neovascularization (CNV). A total of 105 mice treated with alkali burns were randomly divided into three groups to receive intraperitoneal injections of either phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or minocycline twice a day (60 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg) for 14 consecutive days. The area of CNV and corneal...
متن کاملTopical Timolol Inhibits Corneal Neovascularization in Rabbits
Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist that is similar to propranolol. The mechanism through which these drugs act on the regression of neovascularization is largely unknown. However, it is thought that the drugs may act through vascular endothelial growth factor signaling, vasoconstriction, and vascular endothelial cell apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine the effec...
متن کاملLymphocyte-induced corneal neovascularization: a morphologic assessment.
Lymphocytes obtained from mesenteric lymph nodes of rabbits were stimulated in vitro by concanavalin A and injected into the corneas of allogeneic hosts. Controls were nonstimulated, killed, or autogeneic lymphocytes injected into the contralateral corneas. The stimulated cells were significantly better inducers of neovascular growth. Histologic observations of the vascularized corneas showing ...
