| Abstract | PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of the TLR2 (Toll-like receptor 2)/MyD88/NF-κB axis on the allograft rejection after penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS: The PK rat models were randomly divided into four groups: allograft group, dexamethasone group, PDTC group and isograft group. The mean survival time (MST) and rejection index of corneal grafts were observed. The immunohistochemical staining of TGF- was performed on day 15. The messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression of TLR2, MyD88 and NF-κB p65 in corneal grafts were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting. RESULTS: On days 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15, the rejection index in the allograft group was higher than in the other three groups (p < 0.05). The MST in the PDTC group (MST, 23.30 ± 0.42 days, n = 10) and in the dexamethasone group (MST, 24.40 ± 0.50 days, n = 10) were higher than in the allograft group (MST, 14.7 ± 0.70 days, n = 10) (χ(2) = 18.02, p < 0.01; χ(2) = 21.47, p < 0.01). The expression of TNF- in the PDTC group and in the dexamethasone group decreased compared with the allograft group by immunohistochemistry. On day 15, the mRNA and protein expression of TLR2, MyD88 and NF-κB p65 in the PDTC group and the dexamethasone group were less than in the allograft group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Expression of TLR2, MyD88 and NF-κB p65 in rat corneal graft increased significantly and concurred with the allograft rejection, but were effectively inhibited by the treatment with dexamethasone and PDTC after PK. Dexamethasone could improve corneal allograft survival by the TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB axis. PDTC could suppress corneal graft rejection by inhibiting the activity of NF-κB. The TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB axis maybe a potential therapeutic target for corneal allograft rejection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
