摘要：

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) reacts rapidly with the superoxide anion to generate peroxynitrite, which has been found in the aqueous humor in eyes with uveitis. We evaluated the functional and anatomic effects of peroxynitrite on rabbit cornea. Methods: One eye of each rabbit received an anterior chamber injection of 3-morpholino-sydonimine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1), which simultaneously generates both NO and the superoxide anion. The corneal thickness was measured using an ultrasonic pachymeter before and after the injection. The eyes were fixed and the corneal specimens were prepared for electron microscopy. Results: Anterior chamber injections of SIN-1 caused a significant increase in the corneal thickness (25.1+/-3.0 mu m) 30 min after injection. Transmission electron microscopy showed swollen mitochondria and large vacuoles in the cytoplasm, and scanning electron micros copy revealed obscuring of the mosaic pattern by increased ruffling of endothelial cell surface and borders. Conclusions: The results suggest that peroxynitrite generated in the aqueous humor may cause corneal endothelial cell damage, which leads to transient corneal edema.
