BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the gut microbiome is involved in the pathogenesis of uveitis, but the specific pathogenic microbes and metabolites in different types of uveitis are still unclear.
Purpose: To determine whether capsaicin (CAP) exacerbates experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) and whether this effect is associated with impaired intestinal homeostasis, gut microbiota re-modeling, and altered metabolic profiles. Methods: An EAU mouse model was used to evaluate the dose-dependent ...
Proteomic anaysis of tear samples from patients with non-infectious uveitis responders and non-responders to adalimumab included in a cross-sectional study
Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in rodents is a good animal model to study uveitis and associated acute retinal inflammation. To understand the pathogenic mechanism of uveitis and screen the potential targets for treatment, we analyzed the retinal proteomic profiles of EIU and normal C57BL/6J mice u...
Through this comparative proteomic study of equine CD4+ cells 376 membrane proteins could be identified. Several proteins showed changed abundance in horses affected by a spontaneous autoimmune disease (equine recurrent uveitis, ERU). Findings provide novel knowledge about changes in the CD4+ immune...
Retinal Müller glial cells (RMG) play a central role in retinal neuroinflammation, actively participating in the immune response and adopting a dynamic inflammatory phenotype. However, the precise functions of RMG in retinal inflammation remain incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated...
Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) is the only spontaneous model for recurrent autoimmune uveitis in humans, where T cells target retinal proteins. Differences between normal and autoaggressive lymphocytes were identified in this study by analyzing peripheral blood derived lymphocytes (PBL) proteomes fr...
Liquid vitreous biopsies were collected from two groups: eyes from control subjects (n=4) undergoing pars plana vitrectomy to remove an idiopathic macular hole (IMH), and eyes from test subjects (n=4) with IU. Vitreous samples were analyzed using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-...
