近视防控已经上升到我国国家战略层面,高度近视引起的视神经病变会损害视功能,但在临床上常常被忽视。OCT可以非侵入、高分辨率、快速以及可重复地定量视网膜各层厚度,是评估高度近视相关视神经病变的有力工具。由于高度近视常合并视盘和盘周的改变,视神经纤维层厚度的定量常出现误差。近年来,学者开始聚焦于黄斑区神经节细胞复合体(ganglion cell complex,GCC)厚度的研究,但其在高度近视眼中的变化规律尚不统一。该文针对近年来高度近视眼黄斑区GCC的测量规范、诊断价值、变化规律等进行综述,以期提高眼科医师对高度近视视神经病变的重视和研究水平。
Myopia prevention and control has risen to the national strategic level in China. Optic neuropathy caused by high myopia can damage visual function, but it is often ignored in clinical practice Optical coherence tomography (OCT) characterized by non-invasiveness, high resolution, rapid, and repeatable quantifying the thickness of each layer in the retina has emerged as a powerful tool for evaluating high myopia related optic neuropathy. Due to the changes in and near the optic disc in high myopia, errors often occur in the quantification of the thickness of the optic nerve fiber layer. In recent years, researchers have gradually focused on the study of the thickness of ganglion cell complex (GCC), but the regularity of its changes in high myopia is not yet unified. This article reviews the measurement specifications, diagnostic values, and change rules of GCC in the macular region of high myopia in recent years, in order to improve the attention and research level of ophthalmologists on high myopia optic neuropathy.
目的:建立能驱动GFP在视网膜神经节细胞(retinal ganglion cell,RGC)中特异性表达的小鼠胚胎干细胞系。方法:通过同源重组的方式建立Brn3b-GFP敲入的小鼠胚胎干细胞系(Brn3b-GFP ESC),利用3D培养将其诱导成视网膜类器官检测GFP表达的细胞特异性,再用流式细胞分选富集GFP阳性RGC,采用玻璃体腔注射的方式将GFP阳性RGC移植到健康小鼠和NMDA损伤模型小鼠眼中探索该细胞的应用价值。结果:Brn3b-GFP ESC经3D视网膜诱导培养后在RGC中特异性表达GFP,将这些GFP阳性RGC移植到两种小鼠中2周后能在所有视网膜内观察到GFP阳性细胞存活,且均能观察到有供体RGC整合到宿主视网膜RGC层。结论:本研究建立了RGC特异的报告基因干细胞系Brn3b-GFP ESC,通过将该细胞系诱导成视网膜类器官进而获得的GFP阳性RGC移植后能够整合进宿主视网膜。该细胞系的建立将为青光眼及相关疾病提供重要的研究手段和工具。
Objective: This study was designed to establish a mouse embryonic stem cell line that can drive GFP expression specifically in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Methods: In this study, we established a Brn3b-GFP knock-in embryonic stem cell line (Brn3b-GFP ESC) by homologous recombination. By 3D culture, we induced these cells into retinal organoids to investigate the cell-specificity of GFP expression. GFP-positive RGCs were then enriched by flow cytometry and transplanted by intravitreal injection into the eyes of healthy mice and NMDA injury model mice to explore the feasibility of a potential clinical application. Results: GFP was specifically expressed in RGCs following induction of Brn3b-GFP ESCs into 3D retinal organoids. Two weeks after these GFP-positive RGCs were transplanted into the control and injured mice, GFP-positive cells were observed in all transplanted retinas, and donor RGCs were seen to integrate into the RGC layer of the host retina. Conclusion: This study has established a retinal ganglion cell-specific reporter stem cell line Brn3b-GFP ESC. The GFP-positive RGCs obtained by inducing the cell line into retinal organoids can be integrated into the host retina after transplantation. The establishment of such a cell line will provide an important research tool for glaucoma and related diseases.
目的:探讨无糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)的糖尿病人群中,糖尿病与近视对黄斑区节细胞-内丛状层(ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer,GCIPL)厚度纵向变化的影响。方法:纳入广州糖尿病眼病研究中1165名基线无视网膜病变的糖尿病和正常对照者,纵向随访2年。根据是否存在近视[等效球镜(spherical equivalent,SE)≤-3屈光度(diopter,D)]和糖尿病分为健康组(n=508)、糖尿病组(n=525)及糖尿病合并近视组(n=132)。扫频光学相干断层成像(swept source-optical coherence tomography,SS-OCT)技术测量并比较三组间GCIPL厚度的变化,以确定糖尿病和近视的影响,三组间差异使用协方差分析,采用线性混合模型分析评估GCIPL厚度与相关因素的关系。结果:对照组的SE为(1.07±1.06) D,糖尿病组为(1.02±1.00) D,糖尿病合并近视组为(-5.36±2.30) D,组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。对照组基线GCIPL厚度为(71.1±0.3) μm,糖尿病组为(74.4±0.2)μm,糖尿病合并近视组为(71.7±0.5) μm。在2年随访过程中,对照组GCIPL厚度下降-0.10(95%CI:-2.03~0.05) μm/年,糖尿病组GCIPL厚度下降的速度为对照组的12倍[-1.21(95%CI:-24.04~0.05) μm/年,P<0.001],糖尿病合并近视组GCIPL厚度下降的速度为对照组的22倍[-2.17(95%CI:-21.63~0.10)μm/年,P<0.001]。结论:近视是无DR的糖尿病患者中GCIPL加速变薄的危险因素,糖尿病和近视在GCIPL损伤中可能存在协同作用。
Objective: To investigate the association between myopia and ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) in diabetic population without diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: In this Guangzhou Diabetic Eye study, a total of 1 165 patients aged 30–80 years were recruited followed up longitudinally for 2 years. According to the presence or absence of myopia [spherical equivalence (SE)≤-3 diopter (D)] and diabetics, the patients were divided into a healthy group (n=508), a diabetes mellitus group (n=525), and a diabetes mellitus + myopia group (n=132). GCIPL was measured via swept-source optical coherence tomography. Univariable and multivariable mixed models were used to show the association of GCIPL change and baseline parameters. Results: SE was (1.07±1.06) D in the healthy group, (1.02±1.00) D in the diabetes mellitus group and (-5.36±2.30) D in the diabetes mellitus + myopia group (P<0.001). The baseline GCIPL thickness were (71.1±0.3), (74.4±0.2), and (71.7±0.5) μm, respectively. The slope of GCIPL thickness was -0.10 (95% CI: -2.03 to 0.05) μm/year in the healthy group, which was 12 folds faster than those in the diabetes mellitus group [-1.21(95% CI: -24.04 to 0.05 μm/year, P<0.001] and 22 folds higher among those in diabetes mellitus + myopia group [-2.17 (95% CI: -21.63 to 0.10) μm/year, P=0.009]. Conclusion: Both myopia and diabetes status accelerate macular ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer thinning in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy.
