Abstract

High temperature requirement protein A1 (HtrA1) is a serine protease that is mostly secreted to degrade numerous extracellular matrix proteins, They are involved in the development and progression of several pathological processes such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and arthritic diseases, but it also exists within cells for some partially understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of HTRA1 in the uveitis, and the possible mechanisms involved. Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein peptide R14 to induced uveitis in rat model. A recombinant lentiviral vector carrying HTRA1-shRNA to knockdown HTRA1 expression. ELISA to detected proinflammatory cytokines and standard molecular biological techniques were used for subcloning of HtrA1. The knockdown of HTRA1 was associated with decreased the cellularlevel expression of proinflammatory cytokine resulted in reduced cellular damage, and increased mRNA levels of TGF-β1.

Key words: HtrA1; Uveitis; Proinflammatory cytokines; TGF-β
