摘要
目的:研究LDL-R基因和HMG-CoA-R基因在翼状胬肉组织中的表达。方法:随机选取原发性和复发性翼状胬肉组织各10例,正常结膜组织10眼。实时荧光定量PCR技术分析结膜中HMG-CoA-R和LDL-R的相对mRNA含量。结果:原发性和复发性翼状胬肉中的HMG-CoA-R及LDL-R的mRNA水平均明显高于正常球结膜组织,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:HMG-CoA-R和LDL-R基因可能参与翼状胬肉的发病过程。
AIM： To quantitatively detect gene expression level of low-density lipoprotein receptors （LDL-R） and hydroxy methylglutaryl-coenzyme A-reductase （HMG-CoA-R） in human primary pterygium, reccurent pterygium and conjunctiva.
METHODS： Primary pterygium, recurrent pterygium and normal conjunctiva samples were obtained from 30 eyes at the time of surgery during February 2007 to February 2008. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to analyze the content of HMG-CoA-R and LDL-R gene in pterygium and normal tissue.
RESULTS： QRT-PCR revealed a statistically significant increase of LDL-R mRNA levels. 4. 1 fold in primary pterygia and 2.7 fold in recurrent pterygium, compared with the control normal conjunctiva. The differences had statistical significance （ P 〈 0.05）. Also the mRNA levels of HMG-CoA-R were increased significantly in both primary and recurrent pterygia by 4. 2 fold and 3. 6 fold respectively, compared with normal conjunctiva, with statistical significance （ P〈 0.05）.
CONCLUSION. This study indicates that pterygium have an altered metabolism of cholesterol namely increased LDL-R and HMG-CoA-R mRNAs, which is characteristic of tumorlike tissues. Both genes may play important roles in the pathogenesis of pterygium.
