Contact lens wear (CLW) is one of the leading risk factors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis (PAK). However, the intrinsic factors that contribute to the high susceptibility to keratitis during CLW remain to be elucidated. CLW over an extended period can elevate corneal norepinephrine (NE) concentration. In this study, we investigated the role of NE in promoting PAK. We constructed an injury-induced PAK model and a CLW-induced PAK model to confirm the impact of NE during corneal infection. Pharmacological blockage of NE and gene knockdown mouse were used to investigate the downstream effector of NE. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the cellular alterations during NE treatment. Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test were used to ascertain the significance (P < 0.05). Supplementation of NE led to PAK even without artificial corneal injury during CLW. The effect was mediated by the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) in the corneal epithelium. The β2-AR blockage by the NE antagonist ICI118,551 (ICI) or by deleting of its encoding gene Adrb2 significantly alleviated infection during CLW. Conversely, β2-AR activation compromised the integrity of the epithelium and significantly increased the cortical plaque marker ezrin. Transcriptome analysis identified that the protective effect of ICI on the keratitis was mediated by dual-specificity phosphatases. Suramin, a Dusp5 antagonist, abrogated the protective effect of ICI. These data reveal a new mechanism by which NE acts as an intrinsic factor that promotes CLW-induced PAK and provide novel therapeutic targets for treating keratitis by targeting NE-β2-AR.
