Abstract
The prognosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with choroidal detachment (RRDCD) is often poor and complicated. This study focused on the identification of the characteristic proteins and signal pathways associated with the etiology of RRDCD and to provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment of RRDCD. In this study, vitreous humor samples were obtained from 16 RRDCD patients, 14 with RRD, 12 with idiopathic epiretinal macular membrane (IEMM), and 5 healthy controls from donated corpse eyes. Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis were employed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). In the vitreous humor, 14,842 peptides were identified. Patients with RRDCD had 249 DEPs (93 upregulated and 156 downregulated), with 89 in patients with RRD and 61 in patients with IEMM. Enrichment analysis of the GO and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes DEP databases indicated functional clusters related to inflammation and immunity, protein degradation and absorption, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), the hedgehog signaling pathway, and lipid metabolism. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis showed that DEPs with positive co-expression of RRDCD participated in immune-related pathways led by the complement and coagulation cascade, whereas DEPs with negative co-expression of RRDCD participated in protein degradation and absorption, CAMs, and the hedgehog signaling pathway. In summary, our study provides important clues and the theoretical basis for exploring the pathogenesis, progression, and prognosis of ocular fundus disease.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is the world's most common dementing illness. It is pathologically characterized by β-amyloid accumulation, extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles formation, and neuronal necrosis and apoptosis. Neuroinflammation has been widely recognized as a crucial process that participates in AD pathogenesis. In this review, we briefly summarized the involvement of microglia in the neuroinflammatory process of Alzheimer's disease. Its roles in the AD onset and progression are also discussed. Numerous molecules, including interleukins, tumor necrosis factor alpha, chemokines, inflammasomes, participate in the complex process of AD-related neuroinflammation and they are selectively discussed in this review. In the end of this paper from an inflammation- related perspective, we discussed some potential therapeutic choices.

Abstract
Purpose: Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and S100B calcium binding protein B (S100B) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Both are present in and around senile plaques and have been shown to increase levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) mRNA in vitro. However, it is not known how either of these substances affects APP in vivo. Methods: We have studied the effects of IL-1β and S100B on the expression and processing of APP using a retinal-vitreal model. We have also investigated the effect of amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) on APP in the same system and the regulation of S100B production by Aβ and IL-1β from retinal glial cells. Results: Retinal ganglion cells constitutively express APP. However, after intravitreal injection of IL-1β or Aβ there was a marked reduction in APP levels as detected by Western blotting and IL-1β produced a decrease in APP immunoreactivity (IR). Nissl staining showed that the integrity of the injected retinas was unchanged after injection. Two days after S100B injection, there was a small reduction in APP-IR but this was accompanied by the appearance of some intensely stained large ganglion cells and there was some up-regulation in APP holoprotein levels on Western blot. Seven days post-S100B injection, these large, highly stained cells had increased in number throughout the retina. Injection of Aβ and IL-1β also caused an increase in S100B production within the retinal Müller glial cells. Conclusion: These results support the hypothesis that S100B (a glial-derived neurotrophic factor) and IL-1β (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) can modulate the expression and processing of APP in vivo and so may contribute to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
A visually evoked signalling cascade, which begins in the retina, transverses the choroid, and mediates scleral remodelling, is considered to control eye growth. The ubiquitous cytokine TGF-beta has been associated with alterations in ocular growth, where alterations in scleral TGF-beta isoforms mediate the scleral remodelling that results in myopia. However, while the TGF-beta isoforms have been implicated in the scleral change during myopia development, it is unclear whether alterations in retinal and choroidal isoforms constitute part of the retinoscleral cascade. This study characterised the retinal and choroidal TGF-beta isoform profiles and TGF-beta2 activation during different stages of myopia development, as induced by form deprivation, in a mammalian model of eye growth. Using quantitative real-time PCR, the mRNA for all three mammalian isoforms of TGF-beta was detected in tree shrew retina and choroid. Distinct tissue-specific isoform profiles were observed for the retina (TGF-beta1:TGF-beta2:TGF-beta3=20:2085:1) and choroid (TGF-beta1:TGF-beta2:TGF-beta3=16:23:1), which remained constant over the development period under investigation. The active and latent pools of retinal TGF-beta2 were quantified using ELISA with the majority (>94%) of total TGF-beta2 found in the latent form. Unlike previous scleral data showing early and continuous decreases in TGF-beta isoform expression during myopia development, the levels of the three isoforms remained within normal ranges for retinal (TGF-beta1, -14 to +14%; TGF-beta2, -2 to +20%; TGF-beta3, -10 to +26%) and choroidal (TGF-beta1, -19 to +21%; TGF-beta2, -26 to +8%; TGF-beta3, -11 to +28%) tissues during myopia development (induction times of 3h, 7h, 11h, 24h, and 5 days). A 40% decrease in retinal TGF-beta2 activation was observed after 5 days of myopia development, however, there was no functional correlate of altered TGF-beta2 activity, as assessed by the retinal ERG response. Overall, these data highlight the specific nature of TGF-beta isoform expression, which reflects the differences in tissue structure and function. While TGF-beta isoforms are involved in scleral regulation during myopia development in mammals, they do not have a primary role in the retinal and choroidal signals. Thus, the regulation of eye growth via the retinoscleral cascade involves more than one factor, which is likely to be tissue-specific in nature.

Abstract
In order to investigate the role of glia in relation to factors that affect the expression of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) and B cell lymphoma oncogene protein (Bcl-2) in the central nervous tissue, the patterns of expression of betaAPP and Bcl-2 in developing and mature rat retinas were studied immunocytochemically after intravitreal injection of alpha-aminoadipic acid (alpha-AAA), a glutamate analogue and gliotoxin that is known to cause injury of retinal Müller glial cells. In normal developing retinas, betaAPP and Bcl-2 were expressed primarily but transiently in a small number of neurons in the ganglion cell layer during the first postnatal week. Immunoreactivity of betaAPP and Bcl-2 appeared in the endfeet and proximal part of the radial processes of Müller glial cells from the second postnatal week onwards. In rats that received intravitreal injection of alpha-AAA at birth, there was a loss of immunoreactivity to vimentin, and a delayed expressed on betaAPP or Bcl-2 in Muller glial cells until 3-5 weeks post-injection. Immunoreactive neurons were also observed in the inner retina especially in the ganglion cell layer from 5 to 35 days after injection. A significant reduction in numerical density of cells with large somata in the ganglion cell layer was observed in the neonatally injected retinas at P56, which was accompanied by an increased immunostaining in radial processes of Müller glial cells. In contrast, no detectable changes in the expression of betaAPP and Bcl-2 were observed in retina that received alpha-AAA as adults. These results indicate that the gliotoxin alpha-AAA has long lasting effects on the expression of betaAPP and Bcl-2 in Müller glial cells as well as neurons in the developing but not mature retinas. The loss of vimentin and delayed expression of betaAPP and Bcl-2 in developing Müller glial cells suggests that the metabolic integrity of Müller cells was temporarily compromised, which may have adverse effects on developing neurons that are vulnerable or dependent on trophic support from the Müller glial cells.
