| 1 | Effect of Lycium barbarum Polysaccharides on the expression of endothelin-1 and its receptors in an ocular hypertension model of rat glaucoma显示文摘Lycium barbarum, a traditional Chinese anti-aging herb, has been shown to protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in a rat chronic ocular hypertension (COH) model. Here, we investigated the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a strong vasoconstrictor, and its receptors, ETA and ETB, in the COH model and assessed the effects of Lycium barbarum on the ET-1 axis. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) was induced in the right eye of SD rats using argon laser photocoagulation. (1) The expression of ET-1, ETA and ETB in normal and COH retinas was studied. (2) Some COH rats were fed daily with Lycium barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP) using 1 mg/kg or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 3 weeks (started 1 week before photocoagulation). The effects of LBP on the expression of ET-1 and its receptors, ETA and ETB, in COH retina were evaluated. A semi-quantitative analysis of staining intensity was used to evaluate the expression levels of ET-1, ETA and ETB in retinal vasculature. We found that (1) Under COH condition, the immunoreactivity of ET-1 was increased in retina associated with an increase of ETB receptor immunoreactivity and a decrease of ETA receptor immunoreactivity. (2) After feeding COH rats with LBP, the expression of ET-1 was decreased with an increase of ETA expression and a decrease of ETB expression in the retina, especially in RGCs. (3) By comparing the staining intensity in the vasculature of COH retina in LBP-fed group with PBS-fed group, there was a decrease in the expression of ET-1 and ETA and an increase in ETB. In summary, ET-1 expression was up-regulated in the retina in COH model. LBP could decrease the expression of ET-1 and modulate the expression of its receptors, ETA and ETB, under the condition of COH. The neuroprotective effect of LBP on RGCs might be related to its ability to regulate the ET-1-mediated biological effects on RGCs and retinal vasculature. | Xue-Song Mi Kin Chiu Geoffrey Van Justin Wai Chung Leung Amy Cheuk Yin Lo SookjaKim Chung Raymond Chuen-Chung Chang Kwok-Fai So | 2012 | Neural Regeneration Research2012，7，9： | 14 |
| 2 | Modulation of morphological changes of microglia and neuroprotection by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in experimental glaucoma显示文摘Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)/CCL2 is a C–C chemokine involved in the activation and recruitment of monocytic cells to injury sites.MCP-1/CCL2 can induce either neuroprotection or neurodestruction in vitro,depending on the experimental model.We aim to use MCP-1/CCL2 as an experimental tool to investigate the morphological changes of microglia when loss of healthy retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)is exacerbated or attenuated in an experimental glaucoma model.While a high concentration(1000 ng)of MCP-1/CCL2 and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-exacerbated RGC loss,100 ng MCP-1/CCL2 provided neuroprotection towards RGC.Neuroprotective MCP-1/CCL2(100 ng)also upregulated insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)immunoreactivity in the RGCs.The neuroprotective effect of MCP-1/CCL2 was not due to the massiveinfiltration of microglia/macrophages.Taken together,this is the first report showing that an appropriate amount of MCP-1/CCL2 can protect RGCs in experimental glaucoma. | Kin Chiu Sze-Chun Yeung Kwok-Fai So Raymond Chuen-Chung Chang | 2010 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2010，7，1： | 6 |

| 4 | Lycium barbarum extract promotes M2 polarization and reduces oligomeric amyloid-β-induced inflammatory reactions in microglial cells显示文摘Lycium barbarum(LB)is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been demonstrated to exhibit a wide variety of biological functions,such as antioxidation,neuroprotection,and immune modulation.One of the main mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease is that microglia activated by amyloid beta(Aβ)transform from the resting state to an M1 state and release pro-inflammatory cytokines to the surrounding environment.In the present study,immortalized microglial cells were pretreated with L.barbarum extract for 1 hour and then treated with oligomeric Aβfor 23 hours.The results showed that LB extract significantly increased the survival of oligomeric Aβ-induced microglial cells,downregulated the expression of M1 pro-inflammatory markers(inducible nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1β),and upregulated the expression of M2 anti-inflammatory markers(arginase-1,chitinase-like protein 3,and interleukin-4).LB extract also inhibited the oligomeric Aβ-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1βin microglial cells.The results of in vitro cytological experiments suggest that,in microglial cells,LB extract can inhibit oligomeric Aβ-induced M1 polarization and concomitant inflammatory reactions,and promote M2 polarization. | Zhong-Qing Sun Jin-Feng Liu Wei Luo Ching-Hin Wong Kwok-Fai So Yong Hu Kin Chiu | 2022 | Neural Regeneration Research2022，17，1： | 4 |
| 5 | More than anti-malarial agents: therapeutic potential of artemisinins in neurodegeneration显示文摘Artemisinin,also called qinghaosu,is originally derived from the sweet wormwood plant(Artemisia annua),which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.Artemisinin and its derivatives(artemisinins)have been widely used for many years as anti-malarial agents,with few adverse side effects.Interestingly,evidence has recently shown that artemisinins might have a therapeutic value for several other diseases beyond malaria,including cancers,inflammatory diseases,and autoimmune disorders.Neurodegeneration is a challenging age-associated neurological disorder characterized by deterioration of neuronal structures as well as functions,whereas neuroinflammation has been considered to be an underlying factor in the development of various neurodegenerative disorders,including Alzheimer’s disease.Recently discovered properties of artemisinins suggested that they might be used to treat neurodegenerative disorders by decreasing oxidation,inflammation,and amyloid beta protein(Aβ).In this review,we will introduce artemisinins and highlight the possible mechanisms of their neuroprotective activities,suggesting that artemisinins might have therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders. | Bing-Wen Lu Larry Baum Kwok-Fai So Kin Chiu Li-Ke Xie | 2019 | Neural Regeneration Research2019，14，9： | 4 |

| 8 | Contrasting neuropathology and functional recovery after spinal cord injury in developing and adult rats显示文摘Conflicting findings exist regarding the link between functional recovery and the regrowth of spinal tracts across the lesion leading to the restoration of functional contacts. In the present study, we investigated whether functional locomotor recovery was attributable to anatomical regeneration at postnatal day 1 (PN1), PN7, PN14 and in adult rats two months after transection injury at the tenth thoracic segment of the spinal cord. The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan scores showed that transection led to a failure of hindlimb locomotor function in PN14 and adult rats. However, PN1 and PN7 rats showed a significant level of stepping function after complete spinal cord transection. Unexpectedly, unlike the transected PN14 and adult rats in which the spinal cord underwent limited secondary degeneration and showed a scar at the lesion site, the rats transected at PN1 and PN7 showed massive secondary degeneration both anterograde and retrograde, leaving a >5-mm gap between the two stumps. Furthermore, retrograde tracing with fluorogold (FG) also showed that FG did not cross the transection site in PN1 and PN7 rats as in PN14 and adult rats, and re-transection of the cord caused no apparent loss in locomotor performance in the rats transected at PN1. Thus, these three lines of evidence strongly indicated that the functional recovery after transection in neonatal rats is independent of regrowth of spinal tracts across the lesion site. Our results support the notion that the recovery of locomotor function in developing rats may be due to intrinsic adaptations in the spinal circuitry below the lesion that control hindlimb locomotor activity rather than the regrowth of spinal tracts across the lesion. The difference in secondary degeneration between neonatal and adult rats remains to be explored. | Qiuju Yuan Huanxing Su Kin Chiu Wutian Wu Zhi-Xiu Lin | 2013 | Neuroscience Bulletin2013，29，4： | 2 |

| 10 | Mechanisms of electrical stimulation in eye diseases:A narrative review显示文摘Background:In the last two decades,electrical stimulation(ES)has been tested in patients with various eye diseases and shows great treatment potential in retinitis pigmentosa and optic neuropathy.However,the clinical application of ES in ophthalmology is currently limited.On the one hand,optimization and standardization of ES protocols is still an unmet need.On the other hand,poor understanding of the underlying mechanisms has hindered clinical exploitation.Main Text:Numerous experimental studies have been conducted to identify the treatment potential of ES in eye diseases and to explore the related cellular and molecular mechanisms.In this review,we summarized the in vitro and in vivo evidence related to cellular and tissue response to ES in eye diseases.We highlighted several pathways that may be utilized by ES to impose its effects on the diseased retina.Conclusions:Therapeutic effect of ES in retinal degenerative diseases might through preventing neuronal apoptosis,promoting neuronal regeneration,increasing neurotrophic factors production in Müller cells,inhibiting microglial activation,enhancing retinal blood flow,and modulating brain plasticity.Future studies are suggested to analyse changes in specific retinal cells for optimizing the treatment parameters and choosing the best fit ES delivery method in target diseases. | Jinfeng Liu Andre K.H.Ma Kwok Fai So Vincent W.H.Lee Kin Chiu | 2022 | Advances in Ophthalmology Practice and Research2022，2，2： | 1 |
