Dry eye disease (DED) and allergic conjunctivitis affect a large number of patients, and many patients usually have both symptoms. We investigated the interactions between DED and allergic conjunctivitis in mice. Four experimental groups were compared: control, DED, allergy, and allergy with DED. DED was induced by removing the extraorbital lacrimal glands of the mice. Allergic conjunctivitis was induced by intraperitoneal administration of ovalbumin and antigen eye drops. The early phase reaction of the allergy was evaluated using the clinical score, scratching behavior, and vascular permeability in the conjunctiva. Epithelial barrier function was assessed by an LC-biotin assay. Tear fluid volume and corneal fluorescein staining decreased in the DED and allergy with DED groups. LC-biotin penetrated the entire epithelium of both the cornea and conjunctiva in DED mice. The clinical score of the early phase reaction was higher in allergy-induced mice than in non-allergy mice. Edema of the eyelid and conjunctiva were aggravated in mice with DED. The number of scratching episodes and leakage of Evans blue into the conjunctiva were higher in allergy-induced DED mice than in control mice. The presence of aqueous-deficient dry eye caused ocular surface epithelial damage and exacerbated allergic signs and symptoms.
干眼症 (DED) 和过敏性结膜炎影响大量患者,许多患者通常同时存在这两种症状。我们研究了 DED 和过敏性结膜炎在小鼠中的相互作用。比较了四个实验组:对照组、DED 组、过敏组和 DED 合并过敏组。通过去除小鼠眶外泪腺来诱导 DED。通过腹腔内给予卵清蛋白和抗原滴眼剂来诱导过敏性结膜炎。使用临床评分、抓挠行为和结膜血管通透性评估过敏的早期反应。通过 LC-生物素测定评估上皮屏障功能。DED 和 DED 合并过敏组的泪液体积和角膜荧光素染色减少。LC-生物素穿透 DED 小鼠角膜和结膜的整个上皮。过敏诱导小鼠的早期反应临床评分高于非过敏小鼠。DED 小鼠的眼睑和结膜水肿加重。诱导过敏的 DED 小鼠的抓挠发作次数和 Evans 蓝漏入结膜的量高于对照组小鼠。水样缺乏性干眼症导致眼表面上皮损伤,并加重过敏症状和体征。
