The effect of transforming growth factor β 2 (TGF β 2) on phagocytosis in bovine trabecular meshwork cells in vitro was investigated. After the cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells were treated with 0 ng/ml, 0.32 ng/ml, 1 ng/ml, 3.2 ng/ml TGF β 2 for 24 h, latex beads were added into the incubation medium, and the numbers of the latex beads in 20 adjacent cells were counted under a microscope 24 h later, after treatment with Wright’s stain. Our results showed that the average numbers of the latex beads in the trabecular meshwork cells treated with TGF β 2 of different concentrations were 53.1±1.7 beads/cell, 56.4±2.9 beads/cell and 77.9±6.5 beads/cell respectinvely, in comparison with 45.5±3.3 beads/cell of the control group. TGF β 2 significantly increased the number of the latex beads phagocytosed by cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells in a dose dependent manner. TGF β 2 could promote the phagocytosis of bovine trabecular meshwork cells in vitro . It may be involved in the cellularity decrease of the trabecular meshwork in the patients of primary open angle glaucoma through promoting the phagocytosis of trabecular meshwork cells.
