    Abstract:

    AIM: To study the inhibition effect of TAK-242 on the proliferation of rat eye Tenon’s capsule fibroblasts via the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway. METHODS: SD rat Tenon’s capsule fibroblasts were extracted and cultured, then the cells were divided into normal control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (10 g/mL LPS) and TAK-242 group (1 μmol/L TAK-242, and 10 μg/mL LPS after 30min). The expressions of TLR4, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in each group were detected by Western blot and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). RESULTS: Double immunofluorescent labeling in the extracted cells showed negative keratin staining and positive vimentin staining. Western blot showed that the LPS group had the highest expression of TLR4 and TGF-β1 (P<0.01). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) also showed that the secretion of IL-6 was the highest in LPS group (P<0.01). But there was no significant difference in TLR4 and TGF-1, as well as IL-6 expressions between the TAK-242 group and the normal control group (P>0.05). RT-PCR showed that the IL-6 mRNA expression in LPS group was the highest in the three groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: TAK-242 inhibits the proliferation of LPS-induced Tenon’s capsule fibroblasts and the release of inflammatory factors by regulating the TLR4 signaling pathway, providing a new idea for reducing the scarring of the filter passage after glaucoma filtration surgery.
