简介：3型Stargardt病（STGD3，MIM600110）是一种常染色体显性遗传的早发性黄斑营养不良性疾病，是一种单基因遗传性疾病。目前为止，已知的STGD3致病基因为极长链脂肪酸延长酶4基因（ELOVL4）。ELOVIA是位于内质网上的一种调节极长链饱和及多不饱和脂肪酸生物合成的限速缩合反应中不可或缺的膜蛋白。作为一种遗传性疾病，STGD3目前仍无有效治疗方法。然而，饮食补充极长链多不饱和脂肪酸可能是治疗STGD3的一种可行疗法。对STGD3基因及致病机制的研究可能将有助于发现STGD3的有效治疗方法及进一步了解其他遗传性视网膜变性疾病和更复杂的年龄相关性黄斑变性。

简介：视网膜色素变性(retinitispigmentosa,RP)是一种发病机制尚未完全明确的遗传性疾病,其在遗传和表型上具有较大的异质性.其中常染色体显性遗传视网膜色素变性(autosomadominantretintispigmentosa,ADRP)占RP的20%～25%,目前发现至少有19个致病基因,其中11个已被克隆.本文将就ADRP的相关致病基因的研究进展作一综述.

简介：目的观察1,25（OH）2D3对高糖诱导牛视网膜血管内皮细胞（BRECs）中血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）的表达水平变化及对细胞凋亡水平的影响。方法将分离培养的BRECs分为三组,分别为正常糖组、高糖组和高糖处理组。正常对照组细胞培养液含5mmol/L葡萄糖,高糖组细胞培养液含30mmol/L葡萄糖,高糖处理组细胞培养液含30mmol/L葡萄糖和50nM,1,25（OH）2D3。培养48h后收集细胞蛋白。蛋白免疫印迹法检测细胞VEGF及细胞凋亡相关蛋白Bax和Bcl-2表达水平;PI/Hoechst双染色法检测细胞凋亡。结果相比于正常糖组,高糖组中VEFG水平和Bax/Bcl-2比值显著增加;而在高糖处理组中表达水平远远低于高糖组,差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。高糖的细胞凋亡水平高于正常糖组,而经过1,25（OH）2D3处理后,其细胞凋亡水平则有所下降,差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论1,25（OH）2D3可以抑制高糖诱导BRECs中VEGF表达增加及细胞凋亡。
