Okulær overfladebetændelse skader det okulære overfladevæv og kompromitterer vitale funktioner i øjet. Den nuværende protokol beskriver en metode til at inducere okulær betændelse og indsamle kompromitterede væv i en musemodel af Meibomian kirtel dysfunktion (MGD).

Okulære overfladesygdomme omfatter en række lidelser, der forstyrrer hornhindens, bindehindens funktioner og strukturer og det tilhørende okulære overfladekirtelnetværk. Meibomiakirtler (MG) udskiller lipider, der skaber et dæklag, der forhindrer fordampning af den vandige del af tårefilmen. Neutrofiler og ekstracellulære DNA-fælder befolker MG og den okulære overflade i en musemodel af allergisk øjensygdom. Aggregerede neutrofile ekstracellulære fælder (aggNET'er) formulerer en mesh-lignende matrix sammensat af ekstracellulært kromatin, der okkluderer MG-udløb og betingelser MG-dysfunktion. Her præsenteres en metode til inducering af okulær overfladebetændelse og MG-dysfunktion. Procedurerne for indsamling af organer relateret til den okulære overflade, såsom hornhinden, bindehinden og øjenlågene, er beskrevet detaljeret. Ved hjælp af etablerede teknikker til behandling af hvert organ vises også de vigtigste morfologiske og histopatologiske træk ved MG-dysfunktion. Okulære ekssudater giver mulighed for at vurdere den okulære overflades inflammatoriske tilstand. Disse procedurer muliggør undersøgelse af topiske og systemiske antiinflammatoriske interventioner på præklinisk niveau.

Hvert blink med øjet genopfylder den glatte tårefilm spredt over hornhinden. Den okulære overfladeepitel letter fordelingen og korrekt orientering af tårefilmen på den okulære overflade. Muciner leveres af hornhinden og bindehindeepitelcellerne for at hjælpe med at placere den vandige del af tårefilmen, der kommer fra lacrimalkirtlerne på øjnenes overflade. Endelig udskiller MG lipider, der skaber et dækkende lag, der forhindrer fordampning af den vandige del af tårefilmen 1,2,3. På denne måde beskytter de koordinerede funktioner i alle de okulære organer den okulære overflad....

Alle procedurer, der involverede dyr, blev udført i henhold til de institutionelle retningslinjer for dyrevelfærd og godkendt af dyrevelfærdskommissionen ved Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) (tilladelsesnummer: 55.2.2-2532-2-1217). Hunmus med C57Bl/6 i alderen 7-9 uger blev anvendt til denne undersøgelse. Musene blev hentet fra kommercielle kilder (se Materialetabel) og holdt under specifikke patogenfrie forhold med 12 timers dag/nat-cyklusser.

Den nuværende protokol beskriver de sekventielle trin til etablering af en murinmodel af okulær overfladebetændelse. Protokollerne sigter mod at vise, hvordan man anvender terapi lokalt, får okulære ekssudater og punktafgiftsrelaterede tilbehørsorganer såsom sunde og betændte øjenlåg (figur 2), hornhinden og bindehinden. Der skal tages hensyn, når de øvre øjenlåg dissekeres til isolering af bindehinden, og den skal opbevares i 1x PBS under dissektion af hornhinden. Dette forhin.......

Den olieagtige sekretion af de meibomiske kirtler er af stor betydning for et sundt øje22. Imidlertid kan obstruktionen af disse talgkirtler ved aggregerede neutrofile ekstracellulære fælder (aggNET'er), der stiller op som parallelle tråde placeret på tarsalpladerne på begge øjenlåg, forstyrre tårefilmen23. Denne forstyrrelse resulterer i Meibomian kirtel dysfunktion (MGD)1 og accelereret tårefordampning og betingelser skaden på den okulæ.......
