Abstract:

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the correlation among the expression of matrix metalloproteinases-2(MMP-2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2(TIMP-2), soluble cluster of differentiation antigen 44(sCD44) and TIMP-2/MMP-2 and the morbidity with HM&POAG.

Methods

Selected 47 objects of high myopia(HM), primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) and age-related cataract(CAT) from July 2015 to December 2016 in the Third Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital. 47 objects were divided into 4 groups according to the diagnosis.12 patients (12 eyes) who were diagnosed as HM and POAG were taken as group HMG; 15 patients (15 eyes) who were diagnosed as POAG were taken as group POAG; 12 patients(12 eyes) who were diagnosed as HM were taken as group HM; 8 patients (8 eyes) who were diagnosed as CAT were taken as group CAT. A-scan ultrasonography was used to measure the length of optic axis. Double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the concentration of MMP-2, TIMP-2 and sCD44 in aqueous humor. Differences among the level of MMP-2, TIMP-2, sCD44 and TIMP-2/MMP-2 of the four groups were verified by one-way ANOVA analysis; the correlation was verified by Pearson correlation test.

Results

In group HMG, HM, POAG and CAT, the level of sCD44 were (229.86±14.23) ng/l, (227.96±17.91) ng/l, (187.80±14.14) ng/l, (149.74±19.18) ng/l, the level of MMP-2 were (7.83±1.28) ng/ml, (7.78±0.91) ng/ml, (6.10±0.85) ng/ml and (5.42±0.72) ng/ml, the level of TIMP-2 were (128.08±11.41) ng/ml, (115.20±7.44) ng/ml, (91.89±8.26) ng/ml and(63.22±8.69) ng/ml, the ratio of TIMP-2/MMP-2 were (16.65±2.44), (14.95±1.55), (15.32±2.30) and (11.67±0.49), the differences were statistically significant(F=53.878, 16.051, 95.405, 9.984; P<0.05). The difference of the level of sCD44 between each two group of group HMG, HM, POAG and CAT was statistically significant(t=10.75, 9.31, 5.12; P<0.05). The difference of the level of MMP-2 of each two group of group HMG, HM and CAT was statistically significant(t=4.81, 6.15; P<0.05), but was no significantly difference between group POAG and CAT(t=1.86, P>0.05). The difference of the level of TIMP-2 of each two group of group HMG, HM, POAG and CAT was statistically significant(t=13.62, 4.33, 7.45; P<0.05). The difference of the level of TIMP-2 and MMP-2 of each two group of group HMG, HM, POAG and CAT was statistically significant(t=5.65, 5.75, 4.39; P<0.05). The level of TIMP-2 and MMP-2, sCD44 and MMP-2, sCD44 and TIMP-2 were positive correlated (r=0.754, 0.672, 0.829; P<0.05). The concentration of sCD44, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in aqueous humor was positive correlated with axial length(r=0.896, 0.703, 0.813; P<0.05).

Conclusions

The expressions of sCD44, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in aqueous humor of patients with POAG&HM or HM or POAG were significantly increased, and the balance of TIMP-2/MMP-2 was broken. The concentration of sCD44, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in aqueous humor could be used as early warning indicators of high myopia with primary open angle glaucoma.
