Objective To observe the changes of eotaxin-1(CCL11), eotaxin-2(CCL24)and eotaxin-3(CCL26)in ranibizumab treated light-injured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells ARPE-19 and investigate the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist to the expressions of eotaxins. Methods Cultured human RPE cells(8th-12th generations)were divided into light-injured group, ranibizumab treated group and normal control group. Cells of the three groups were exposed to the blue light at the intensity of(600±100) Lux for 12 h to establish the light injured model, while cell culture dishes of the normal control group were wrapped with double-layer foil. The cells of ranibizumab treated group were treated with VEGF-A antagonist(ranibizumab)at the final concentration of 0.125 mg/ml for 24 hours directly after the illumination. The mRNA and protein of VEGF-A, eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2, eotaxin-3, NF-κB were determined by Real time-PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot, immunohistochemical staining at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours after light damage. Results The mRNA and protein level of VEGF-A, eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2, eotaxin-3, NF-κB in the light-injuried group increased significantly compared to that in normal control group (P < 0.05). After treating with ranibizumab, the expression of eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2, eotaxin-3, NF-κB were significantly suppressed (P < 0.05). Conclusion The suppression of over-expression of VEGF in human RPE may down-regulate the expression of eotaxins, via the suppression of NF-κB.
