MMPs and TIMPs expressiond were explored in this rat model of F.solani keratitis using real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and DIF.GM6001(400 μmol/m L) was used to treat infected corneas. The keratitis duration, amount and area of corneal neovascularization(CNV) were evaluated.·RESULTS: MMP-3 expression was 66.3 times higher in infected corneas compared to normal corneas. MMP-8,-9,and-13 expressions were significantly upregulated in the mid-period of the infection, with infected- to-normal ratios of 4.03, 39.86, and 5.94, respectively. MMP-2 and-7expressions increased in the late period, with the infected-to-normal ratios of 5.94 and 16.22, respectively.TIMP-1 expression was upregulated in the early period,and it was 43.17 times higher in infected compared to normal corneas, but TIMP-2,-3, and-4 expressions were mildly downregulated or unchanged. The results of DIF were consistent with the result of real-time PCR.GM6001, a MMPs inhibitor, decreased the duration of F.solani infection and the amount and area of CNV.·CONCLUSION: MMPs and TIMPs contributed into the progress of F.solani keratitis.展开更多
