摘要：

Purpose: to explore the anti-inflammatory effects of a nanobody (Nb) specific to beta-glucan on fungal keratitis (FK). Methods: in order to verify the therapeutic and anti-inflammatory efficacy of Nb in FK, the severity of inflammation was assessed with inflammatory scores, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) assays. In corneas of mice of FK model and human corneal epithelial cells stimulated by fungal hyphae, real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). In vivo, macrophages and neutrophils infiltration in the cornea stroma was detected by immunofluorescence (IFS) staining. Results: In murine models infected with Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus), Nb treatment could reduce the inflammatory scores. HE staining and MPO results showed Nb significantly alleviated corneal edema and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration 3 days post-infection. In addition, the expression levels of LOX-1 and Dectin-1 were significantly decreased in the Nb group in vivo. The expression of chemokines CCL2 and CXCL2 also decreased in the Nb group. Compared with the PBS group, the number of macrophages and neutrophils in the Nb group was significantly decreased, which was shown in IFS results. Moreover, Nb attenuated the expression of Dectin-1, LOX-1, and inflammatory mediators, including IL-6 and IL-8 in vitro. Conclusion: our study showed that Nb could alleviate FK by downregulating the expression of PRRs and inflammatory factors as well as reducing the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils.
