To investigate 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) function and 5-HT receptor 2A (5-HT2A) mRNA expression in the formation of lens-induced myopia (LIM).
Lens-induced myopia construction method was applied to generate myopia on guinea pig right eye (LIM eye).
LIM eyes formed significant myopia with longer axial length. 5-HT level in retina, choroids and sclera from LIM eyes was significantly higher than that in control group. 5-HT2A mRNA expression was also significantly up-regulated.
Refraction lens could induce myopia in guinea pig and 5-HT may play an important role in the formation of myopia by binding with 5-HT2A receptor.
研究5-羟色胺(5-HT)功能及5-羟色胺受体2A(5-HT2A)mRNA表达在晶状体诱导性近视(LIM)形成中的作用。
采用晶状体诱导性近视造模方法在豚鼠右眼(LIM眼)诱导形成近视。
LIM眼形成明显近视且眼轴变长。LIM眼视网膜、脉络膜和巩膜中的5-HT水平显著高于对照组。5-HT2A mRNA表达也显著上调。
屈光性晶状体可诱导豚鼠近视,5-HT可能通过与5-HT2A受体结合在近视形成中发挥重要作用。
