Abstract Purpose:To invetigate the effects of incubation time on the expression of the human lysozyme gene(Lyz)in human serum incubated at 37℃ as medicated eye drops for dry eye using a real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).

Materials and Methods:Human serum with added antibiotics was placed in an incubator at 37℃ for 10, 20, 30 min, and 2, 4, 24 h. We obtained 10×107 copies of Lyz cDNA in the plasmid by the proliferating Escherichia Coli. Dilution factors for linear regression for quantification were set to 64, 256, and 1,024 times. Total RNA was extracted from human serum, and cDNA was synthesized, and the primers for the RT-PCR amplification of the Lyz cDNA were designed. After mixing cDNA, primers, and MyGo green, the expression of Lyz cDNA was measured using the MyGo real-time PCR system. Fluorometric analysis of the PCR products was performed as a real-time measurement, either continuously or at specific time points during each PCR cycle. We performed statistical analysis of the effects of incubation time on the expression of Lyz cDNA in human serum using a t-test and simple linear regression analysis.

Results:The total RNA content of the human serum incubated for 4 and 24 h was significantly higher than that of the serum incubated for 20 or 30 min. However, total DNA was not significantly influenced by incubation time. Lyz cDNA expression in human serum incubated for 4 and 24 h was significantly lower than that in serum incubated for 2 h. Simple linear regression analysis showed that the incubation time significantly increased total RNA and decreased Lyz cDNA expression.

Conclusions:Lyz cDNA expression in human serum eye drops decreased after incubation for >4 h at 37℃, suggesting that the lysis function of lysozyme against bacteria may deteriorate after long-term incubation.
