Regulation of gelatinase B production in corneal cells is independent of autocrine IL-1alpha. (1/726)

PURPOSE: The matrix metalloproteinase gelatinase B is synthesized by cells at the leading edge of the corneal epithelium migrating to heal a wound. Recent data from the authors' laboratory suggest that excessive synthesis contributes to repair defects. The goal of the study reported here was to investigate mechanisms controlling gelatinase B production by corneal epithelial cells. METHODS: Freshly isolated cultures of corneal epithelial cells and early passage stromal fibroblasts from rabbit were used for these studies. RESULTS: In a previous study, it was found that the cytokine interleukin (IL)-1alpha is released into the culture medium of corneal epithelial cells more efficiently when they are plated at low density with limited cell-cell contact than when plated at high density. In this study, we show that production of gelatinase B by these cells is similarly affected by cell plating density. However, it is further demonstrated that these two events are not dependent on one another but occur in parallel: IL-1alpha does not regulate gelatinase B production (synthesis), nor was there evidence that any other secreted autocrine cytokine acts as mediator. Instead, our data suggest that gelatinase B production is downregulated directly by high cell density and indicate a connection to the level of protein kinase C activity. Nevertheless, the anticancer agent suramin, which blocks collagenase synthesis by interfering with autocrine cytokine-receptor interactions, still inhibits synthesis of gelatinase B. CONCLUSIONS: Unlike collagenase synthesis by corneal stromal fibroblasts, production (synthesis) of gelatinase B does not appear to be controlled by secreted autocrine cytokines but can still be inhibited by suramin. Suramin may make an effective therapeutic agent for controlling pathologic overproduction of gelatinase B in corneal ulcers.  (+info)

Human corneal ablation threshold using the 193-nm ArF excimer laser. (2/726)

PURPOSE: To determine the human corneal threshold ablation energy density for the 193-nm ArF excimer laser, approximating clinical conditions. METHODS: The VISX Star (Santa Clara, CA) 193-nm argon fluoride excimer laser was used to ablate the cornea in human eye bank eyes under clinical conditions. Corneas were exposed to energy densities of 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 140 to 160 mJ/cm2. Corneas were fixed for light and transmission electron microscopy immediately after laser exposure. RESULTS: Different ablation thresholds for various corneal structural elements were observed. The ablation threshold for the collagen in the corneal stroma was determined to be 30 mJ/cm2. Keratocytes had ablation thresholds of 40 mJ/cm2. These different ablation thresholds accounted for the production of stromal peaks and valleys, with the keratocytes atop the peaks. CONCLUSIONS: Different corneal structural elements have different ablation threshold energy densities.  (+info)

Differential inhibition of collagenase and interleukin-1alpha gene expression in cultured corneal fibroblasts by TGF-beta, dexamethasone, and retinoic acid. (3/726)

PURPOSE: Expression of the genes for collagenase and interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) are induced as stromal cells become activated to the repair fibroblast phenotype after injury to the cornea. This investigation examines the mechanisms whereby expression of these genes is inhibited by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), dexamethasone (DEX), or retinoic acid (RET A). METHODS: A model of freshly isolated cultures of corneal stromal cells and early passage cultures of corneal fibroblasts was used in these studies. This model reproduces the events of stromal cell activation in the corneal wound. RESULTS: In early passage cultures of corneal fibroblasts, expression of collagenase is under obligatory control by autocrine IL-1alpha. IL-1alpha controls its own expression through an autocrine feedback loop that is dependent on transcription factor NF-kappaB. TGF-beta, DEX, and RET A were each effective inhibitors of collagenase gene expression in these cells. Furthermore, these agents have the capacity to inhibit expression of IL-1alpha and this was correlated with their ability to affect DNA-binding activity of NF-kappaB. However, TGF-beta, DEX, and RET A were also effective inhibitors of the low level of collagenase expressed by freshly isolated corneal stromal cells that cannot express IL-1alpha. CONCLUSIONS: In cells with an active IL-1alpha autocrine loop there are at least two distinct signaling pathways by which collagenase gene expression can be modulated. The results of this study demonstrate that TGF-beta, DEX, and RET A differentially inhibit collagenase and IL-1alpha gene expression. This information will be useful in the design of therapeutic modalities for fibrotic disease in the cornea and other parts of the eye.  (+info)

A new surgical technique for deep stromal, anterior lamellar keratoplasty. (4/726)

AIMS: To describe a new surgical technique for deep stromal anterior lamellar keratoplasty. METHODS: In eye bank eyes and sighted human eyes, aqueous was exchanged by air, to visualise the posterior corneal surface--that is, the "air to endothelium" interface. Through a 5.0 mm scleral incision, a deep stromal pocket was created across the cornea, using the air to endothelium interface as a reference plane for dissection depth. The pocket was filled with viscoelastic, and an anterior corneal lamella was excised. A full thickness donor button was sutured into the recipient bed after stripping its Descemet's membrane. RESULTS: In 25 consecutive human eye bank eyes, a 12% microperforation rate was found. Corneal dissection depth averaged 95.4% (SD 2.7%). Six patient eyes had uneventful surgeries; in a seventh eye, perforation of the lamellar bed occurred. All transplants cleared. Central pachymetry ranged from 0.62 to 0.73 mm. CONCLUSION: With this technique a deep stromal anterior lamellar keratoplasty can be performed with the donor to recipient interface just anterior to the posterior corneal surface. The technique has the advantage that the dissection can be completed in the event of inadvertent microperforation, or that the procedure can be aborted to perform a planned penetrating keratoplasty.  (+info)

Proteoglycan synthesis by bovine keratocytes and corneal fibroblasts: maintenance of the keratocyte phenotype in culture. (5/726)

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of serum on morphology, growth, and proteoglycan synthesis by primary cultures of collagenase-isolated bovine keratocytes. METHODS: Keratocytes were isolated from bovine corneas using sequential collagenase digestion and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), with and without fetal bovine serum (FBS). Proteoglycans synthesized by the cells in culture and by keratocytes in intact cornea culture were metabolically radiolabeled with 35SO4. The proteoglycans were characterized by their sensitivity to keratanase, chondroitinase ABC, and heparatinase and by their size on Superose 6 HR. Cell number was determined by measuring DNA content of the culture dishes. RESULTS: Keratocytes cultured in 10% FBS proliferated, appeared fibroblastic, and synthesized only 9% of the total glycosaminoglycan as keratan sulfate (KS), whereas cells in serum-free media were quiescent, appeared dendritic, and synthesized 47% KS, a value similar to the 45% KS for corneas radiolabeled overnight in organ culture. This increased proportion of KS synthesis in serum-free media was caused by a moderate increase in KS synthesis combined with a substantial decrease in chondroitin sulfate (CS) synthesis. Fractionation on Superose 6 High Resolution showed the size and relative amounts of the CS- and KS-containing proteoglycans synthesized by keratocytes in serum-free media also more closely resembled that of keratocytes in corneas in organ culture than keratocytes in media containing serum. CONCLUSIONS: A comparison of proteoglycan synthesis and cell morphology between keratocytes in corneas in organ culture and in cell culture indicates that keratocytes maintain a more native biosynthetic phenotype and appearance when cultured in serum-free media. These results also suggest that culturing in the presence of serum fundamentally alters the keratocyte phenotype to an activated cell, mimicking certain changes observed during wound healing.  (+info)

Failure to activate transcription factor NF-kappaB in corneal stromal cells (keratocytes). (6/726)

PURPOSE: Freshly isolated cultures of corneal stromal cells (keratocytes) are incompetent to synthesize the tissue remodeling proteinase, collagenase, in response to agents such as cytochalasin B (CB) or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), which are strong stimulators of collagenase expression in subcultured fibroblasts of all types, including those from corneal stroma. Incompetence is due to failure to activate an autocrine interleukin (IL)1alpha feedback loop required to mediate cell response. The goal of the present study was to investigate the mechanism for this failure. METHODS: A cell culture model of freshly isolated corneal stromal cells and subcultured stromal fibroblasts from rabbits was used for these studies. RESULTS: Competence to synthesize collagenase in response to CB was acquired as a differentiation property by corneal stromal cells placed in culture, and did not require subculture. Competence acquisition correlated with transition to a fibroblastic spindle shape, assembly of actin stress fibers, and the acquired capacity to collapse in response to CB. It was demonstrated that competence could be more precisely defined as the capacity to express IL-1alpha in response to IL-1, making possible activation of the feedback loop. Investigation into the signaling pathway for IL-1alpha expression in response to IL-1 revealed a requirement for reactive oxygen species and activity of the transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)kappaB. Importantly, freshly isolated stromal cells were found to be relatively incompetent to activate NF-kappaB in comparison to subcultured stromal fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS: Failure to activate NF-kappaB explains incompetence for expression of IL-1alpha in corneal stromal cells. Because NF-kappaB regulates many cell functions with potential to disturb corneal structure, including expression of inflammatory, stress, and degradative proteinase genes; protection against apoptosis; and cell replication; this seems likely to be an important mechanism protecting corneal stasis and preserving function.  (+info)

Functional human corneal equivalents constructed from cell lines. (7/726)

Human corneal equivalents comprising the three main layers of the cornea (epithelium, stroma, and endothelium) were constructed. Each cellular layer was fabricated from immortalized human corneal cells that were screened for use on the basis of morphological, biochemical, and electrophysiological similarity to their natural counterparts. The resulting corneal equivalents mimicked human corneas in key physical and physiological functions, including morphology, biochemical marker expression, transparency, ion and fluid transport, and gene expression. Morphological and functional equivalents to human corneas that can be produced in vitro have immediate applications in toxicity and drug efficacy testing, and form the basis for future development of implantable tissues.  (+info)

Distribution of ascorbate in the anterior bovine eye. (8/726)

PURPOSE: To analyze the ascorbate distribution in the anterior eye wall to better understand the functional significance of this compound in the eye. METHOD: Ascorbic acid was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using an LC-10 system (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). Bovine eye samples were used. RESULTS: The highest ascorbate concentration was observed in the corneal epithelium, with significantly higher values in the central (1.56 mg/g) than in the peripheral (1.39 mg/g) area. The ascorbate content was similar in the corneal stroma (0.22 mg/g), the Descemet's membrane (DM)/endothelium (0.22 mg/g), and the aqueous humor (0.21 mg/ml). By comparison, the sclera (0.15 mg/g) and the conjunctiva (0.11 mg/g) showed lower values, as did the lacrimal gland (0.09 mg/g) and the serum (0.0008 mg/ml). CONCLUSIONS: (1) Peak ascorbate concentration was observed in the central corneal epithelium covering the pupillary area. This is compatible with the idea that the ascorbate may act as an UV filter shielding internal eye structures from radiation damage. (2) The ascorbate concentration in the corneal stroma and DM/endothelium was as high as in the aqueous humor, and it is suggested that the aqueous humor plays a key role in the distribution of ascorbate to the anterior eye wall.  (+info)

TY - JOUR. T1 - Quantitative assessment of anteroposterior keratocyte density in the normal rabbit cornea. AU - Petroll, W. M.. AU - Boettcher, K.. AU - Barry, P.. AU - Cavanagh, D.. AU - Jester, J. V.. PY - 1995. Y1 - 1995. N2 - The anteroposterior keratocyte density distribution in the rabbit cornea was measured. Unsectioned tissue blocks from the central cornea of five rabbits were stained with propidium iodide and imaged using a Leica laser scanning confocal microscope. A z-series of images was acquired in each sample, from anterior to posterior stroma in either 3- or 8-μm steps. Software was developed to allow interactive marking of the keratocyte nuclei within each section of the z-series and for calculating cell density. For convenience, cell density was expressed as the number of cells per corneal volume element (CVE), where CVE is a newly defined volume unit with x, y, and z dimensions of 250, 250, and 10 μm, respectively. The calculated keratocyte density was 20.2 ± 1.0 cells/CVE (n ...

The expression of keratocyte- and/or myofibroblast-specific markers and the involvement of VSX1 in wound-healing responses was further investigated in normal and wounded corneas. As expected, wounded corneas showed positive VSX1 staining in the corneal stroma, whereas no signal was observed in normal tissues (Fig. 5) . When VSX1 expression was correlated with CD-34 (keratocyte-specific marker) and α-SMA (myofibroblast-specific marker) expression in normal or wounded corneas, we observed that VSX1 was strongly associated with upregulation of α-SMA and downregulation of CD-34. Normal corneas typically characterized by a quiescent keratocyte population showed high CD-34 (Fig. 6I)expression and barely detectable α-SMA (Fig. 6E)expression, but did not express VSX1 (Fig. 6A) , which is consistent with the presence of a quiescent keratocyte population. In wounded corneas (n = 3) VSX1 expression was strictly correlated with that of α-SMA. Corneas exhibiting increasing values of α-SMA (Figs. 6E 6F ...

Stroma of cornea - WikipediaStroma of cornea - Wikipedia
The substantia propria (or stroma of cornea) is fibrous, tough, unyielding, and perfectly transparent. At its centre, human corneal stroma is composed of about 200 flattened lamellæ (layers of collagen fibrils), superimposed one on another.[1] They are each about 1.5-2.5 μm in thickness. The anterior lamellæ interweave more than posterior lamellæ. The fibrils of each lamella are parallel with one another, but at different angles to those of adjacent lamellæ. The lamellæ are produced by keratocytes (corneal connective tissue cells), which occupy about 10% of the substantia propria. Apart from the cells, the major non-aqueous constituents of the stroma are collagen fibrils and proteoglycans. The collagen fibrils are made of a mixture of type I and type V collagens. These molecules are tilted by about 15 degrees to the fibril axis, and because of this, the axial periodicity of the fibrils is reduced to 65 nm (in tendons, the periodicity is 67 nm). The diameter of the fibrils is remarkably ...

Purpose : Upon injury to the cornea, the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) rapidly changes to promote wound healing through its interactions with integrins. We hypothesize that ECM remodelling occurring during corneal wound healing causes the activation of very specific signal transduction mediators that favor faster closure of the wound. Our goal is to proceed to the pharmacological inhibition and/or activation of the PI3K/Akt mediators Akt and CREB using the human tissue-engineered cornea (hTECs) as a model. Methods : hTECs produced by the self-assembly approach were wounded with a 8-mm diameter biopsy punch and deposited on another reconstructed human corneal stroma to allow wound closure on a natural ECM. Total RNAs and proteins were prepared from the epithelial cells of wounded and unwounded areas and their gene expression pattern was determined by microarrays. The wounded tissues were then incubated with or without C646 (a CREB inhibitor) or with or without SC79 (an AKT ...

De-epithelialised and de-endothelialised bovine corneal stromas with a hydration of 3.2 equilibrated at 154 mM NaCl and buffered at pH 7.4 had their optical density (400-750 nm) measured. Stromas equilibrated against 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100 mM NaCl made isotonic to 154 mM NaCl by supplementing with sorbitol were progressively more transparent as NaCl increased. Hypertonic equilibration against 300, 600 or 1000 mM NaCl resulted in a progressive loss of transparency compared with 154 mM NaCl. Light scattering as a function of wavelength fitted a l_3 function well for 10, 30, 50, 100 and 154 mM NaCl preparations between 450 and 650 nm, but not at higher wavelengths. However, hypertonic 300, 600 and 1000 mM NaCl preparations showed a l_2 dependence in the 450-750 nm range. Experiments with 154 mM NaCl and either 0 or 300 mM sorbitol suggested that the changes in light scattering in hypertonic preparations are unlikely to be caused by osmotic alterations to the stromal keratocytes.

The laboratory mouse is an unsurpassed animal model for studying human diseases due to the abundant availability of mutant species, and the close homology of the human and mouse genomes [14,15]. The physical dimensions of the mouse eye and resulting difficulty in performing manual surgery using conventional instrumentation however complicates accurate ocular surgical models in this animal. In this study we have demonstrated that it is possible to adapt and use a conventional clinical femtosecond laser platform to perform intrastromal lamellar surgery on the mouse eye. The FSL laser causes tissue photo-disruption, which results in the formation of plasma that rapidly expands and collapses, to create an interlamellar (collagen lamellae) cavitation at a precise depth [16]. In the TEM analyses of these cavitations in the mouse cornea we were able to demonstrate distinct localized plasma cavitations with dimensions of ~1 µm. The size of these plasma cavitations is in part related to the energy ...

Induction and Regulation of Herpetic Stromal Keratitis by Pranita Pragnyadipta SarangiInduction and Regulation of Herpetic Stromal Keratitis by Pranita Pragnyadipta Sarangi
Herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK) is an immunopathological and tissue destructive corneal lesion caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, which induces an intense inflammatory response and finally leads to blindness. Accumulating evidence using the murine model has shown that Th-1 phenotype CD4+ T cells orchestrating the inflammation mainly contribute to the immunopathological reaction in HSV-1 infected cornea. However, prior to CD4+ T cell infiltration into corneal lesions, various innate immune cells recruit and produce numerous inflammatory and angiogenic molecules into the corneal stroma those in turn drive the corneal immunopathology. The first part (Part I) of this dissertation focuses on the understanding of HSV-1 induced immunoinflammatory processes in the cornea and trigeminal ganglia including the secondary lymphoid tissues. The next three parts (Part II-IV) focus on different inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms that are activated following virus infection in the

Thy-1 distinguishes human corneal fibroblasts and myofibroblasts from keratocytes - Northumbria Research LinkThy-1 distinguishes human corneal fibroblasts and myofibroblasts from keratocytes - Northumbria Research Link
After corneal injury, keratocytes become activated and transform into repair phenotypes-corneal fibroblasts or myofibroblasts, however, these important cells are difficult to identify histologically, compromising studies of stromal wound healing. Recent studies indicate that expression of the cell surface protein, Thy-1, is induced in fibroblast populations associated with wound healing and fibrosis in other tissues. We investigated whether keratocyte transformation to either repair-associated phenotype induced Thy-1 expression. Human corneal keratocytes were isolated by collagenase digestion. The cells were either processed immediately (i.e. freshly isolated keratocytes) or were cultured in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum or transforming growth factor-β to induce transformation to the corneal fibroblast and myofibroblast phenotypes, respectively. Thy-1 mRNA and protein expression by freshly isolated keratocytes and corneal fibroblasts were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. mRNA ...

OSA | Wavelength dependence of femtosecond laser ablation threshold of corneal stromaOSA | Wavelength dependence of femtosecond laser ablation threshold of corneal stroma
We measure the surface ablation threshold fluence of porcine corneal stroma for 100 fs laser pulses, with wavelengths between 800 nm and 1450 nm, generated by a Ti:sapphire-pumped optical parametric amplifier. The ablation threshold was found to vary only slightly within this wavelength range, between 1.5 and 2.2 J/cm2. The data suggest a rapid increase of the ablation threshold for wavelengths up to about 1000 nm, followed by a plateau for longer wavelengths. This behavior is partly confirmed by a simple theoretical model of the ablation process. The influence of the wavelength on the physics of surface ablation is discussed on the basis of the model.. ©2008 Optical Society of America. Full Article , PDF Article ...

An electromechanical model for charged, hydrated tissues is developed to predict the kinetics of changes in swelling and isometric compressive stress induced by changes in bath salt concentration. The model focuses on ionic transport as the rate limiting step in chemically modulating electrical interactions between the charged macromolecules of the extracellular matrix. The swelling response to such changes in local interaction forces is determined by the relative rates of chemical diffusion and fluid redistribution in the tissue sample. We have tested the model by comparing the experimentally observed salt-induced stress relaxation response in bovine articular cartilage and corneal stroma to the response predicted by the model using constitutive relations for the concentration dependent material properties of the tissues reported in a related study. The qualitatively good agreement between our experimental measurements and the predictions of the model supports the physical basis of the model ...

Application of catastrophe theory to corneal swelling | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological SciencesApplication of catastrophe theory to corneal swelling | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological Sciences
Stromal swelling in human, cat, and rabbit cornea is biphasic, interpretable as an elementary cusp catastrophe proposed by Thom, with t* ═ log t and Q* ═ log Q (stromal charge Q, time t) as control parameters, and H0.5 (hydration H) as the state variable. A thermodynamic potential with two attractor regions, each with a local minimum, governs corneal stromal swelling. Transitions follow a saturation convention whereby the second minimum is preferred upon availability. Corneal swelling is an example of a space-equivalent unfolding, where the transition plane moves in time. It is proposed that the transition plane coincides with the uncoupling of interfibrillary linkages or springs in the corneal stroma, and is associated with a critical hydration of ca. 10 kg H2O per kilogram dry mass, and stromal charge ca. 1 x 10-7 mol electrons. ...

Intrastromal Correction of Ametropia by a Femtosecond Laser - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govIntrastromal Correction of Ametropia by a Femtosecond Laser - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
This study evaluates the intrastromal correction of ametropia with a femtosecond laser made by 20/10 PERFECT VISION. This laser generates a beam of ultrashort, infrared pulses which enables very precise cuts in the cornea. By these cuts lamellae of the cornea are separated locally, and in the consequence the curvature of the cornea is changed, and the correction of the diagnosed ametropia can be achieved. On the contrary to cuts which are generated with a sharp knife, the cuts generated when using a laser can be generated just inside the cornea without opening the surface of the cornea. This means the procedure is minimal-invasive.. The study hypothesis is: Different types of ametropia can be corrected safely and on long-term by intrastromal cuts. ...

With regard to TIMP 3, the total amount of this protein associated with the matrices of confluent stromal cell cultures of normal corneas maintained over a period of time of 8e10 days was approximately 5-fold higher than that within their regularly obtained culture media examples. After infecting stromal cells with RAdTIMP 3 very little of the freshly synthesised TIMP 3 was recovered in their culture media but the quantity connected with the matrices, which was measured 13 days after infection, was significantly more than normally present. Normal corneal stromal cell cultures, when 70-80 Cabozantinib price confluent infected with RAdTIMP 3, all showed symptoms of cell death between day 2 and 5 after infection. As well as the appearance of detached cells in the growth medium, significant pockets developed. As shown in Fig. 3a, these were without both cells and matrix and, because of the unusually dense packing of cells round the holes, appeared to be due to matrix contraction. Eventually ...

The cornea of the eye is a unique, transparent connective tissue. It is comprised predominantly of collagen fibrils, remarkably uniform in diameter and regularly spaced, organized into an intricate lamellar array. Its establishment involves a precisely controlled sequence of developmental events in which the embryonic cornea undergoes major structural transformations that ultimately determine tissue form and function. In this article, we will review corneal developmental dynamics from a structural perspective, consider the roles and interrelationships of collagens and proteoglycans, and comment on contemporary concepts and current challenges pertinent to developmental processes that result in an optically clear, mature cornea.

It is well understood by oncologists that tumor growth and metastasis depend on changes in the tumor microenvironment or stroma. Stromal changes have been the focus of numerous research publications and have led to insights in both tumor development and promising new avenues for treatment [1-7].. In order to study molecular changes in stroma from tissue samples, it is necessary to separate tumor tissue from stromal tissue. Without this separation we have sample heterogeneity, which is well known to severely limit the conclusions that can be made about the specificity of molecular changes and their biological causes [5, 7-11]. This separation can be difficult in contexts where tumors are small or not well differentiated. For example, in mouse tumor xenograft models, human cancer cells are grown in immune-suppressed mice [12-15]. These models are popular in oncologic research for studying mechanisms of tumor growth and metastasis, as well as drug response. In such studies, secondary tumors (at ...

Why are pancreatic tumors so resistant to treatment? One reason is that the wound-like tissue that surrounds the tumors, called stroma, is so dense, likely preventing cancer-killing drugs from reaching the tumor. A team has now discovered heterogeneity in the fibroblast portion of the stroma, opening up the possibility of targeted treatment.

Human Fetal Keratocytes Have Multipotent Characteristics in the Developing Avian EmbryoHuman Fetal Keratocytes Have Multipotent Characteristics in the Developing Avian Embryo
The human cornea contains stem cells that can be induced to express markers consistent with multipotency in cell culture; however, there have been no studies demonstrating that human corneal keratocytes are multipotent. The objective of this study is to examine the potential of human fetal keratocytes (HFKs) to differentiate into neural crest-derived tissues when challenged in an embryonic environment. HFKs were injected bilaterally into the cranial mesenchyme adjacent to the neural tube and the periocular mesenchyme in chick embryos at embryonic days 1.5 and 3, respectively. The injected keratocytes were detected by immunofluorescence using the human cell-specific marker, HuNu. HuNu-positive keratocytes injected along the neural crest pathway were localized adjacent to HNK-1-positive migratory host neural crest cells and in the cardiac cushion mesenchyme. The HuNu-positive cells transformed into neural crest derivatives such as smooth muscle in cranial blood vessels, stromal keratocytes, and ...

Cellular therapy of the corneal stroma, with either ocular or extraocular stem cells, has been gaining a lot of interest over the last decade. Multiple publications from different research groups are showing its potential benefits in relation to its capacity to improve or alleviate corneal scars, improve corneal transparency in metabolic diseases by enhancing the catabolism of the accumulated molecules, generate new organized collagen within the host stroma, and its immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory properties. Autologous extraocular stem cells do not require a healthy contralateral eye and they do not involve any ophthalmic procedures for their isolation. Mesenchymal stem cells have been the most widely assayed and have the best potential to differentiate into functional adult keratocytes in vivo and in vitro. While embryonic stem cells have been partially abandoned due to ethical implications, the discovery of the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) has opened a new and very promising field for

Intrastromal corneal tattooing for symptomatic iridotomies | British Journal of OphthalmologyIntrastromal corneal tattooing for symptomatic iridotomies | British Journal of Ophthalmology
Corneal tattooing is a technique that has been used for centuries to improve either cosmesis or clinically significant anomalies.1 These anomalies include diplopia, glare and halos secondary to peripheral iridotomies (PI), and sector or total iris defects. The most commonly performed tattoo techniques are either by transepithelial intrastromal micropuncture or tattooing the anterior stroma after epithelial debridement.1 2 However, these techniques are known to be associated with several complications, including intra-operative microperforations, recurrent erosions, pigment non-homogeneity and fading of pigment over time.1 2 A newer procedure has been described, termed the intrastromal lamellar pocket technique. Several studies have investigated the use of this technique for aesthetic purposes in non-seeing … ...

The cornea is the primary refractive element of the eye and is also fundamental to the protection of the visual system. Collagen is the major constituent of the cornea, where it is organised in a lattice that enables corneal transparency. Proteoglycan macromolecules are thought to regulate the diameter and spatial order of collagen fibrils in the cornea, which are both pre-requisites for corneal transparency, although the mechanisms by which they organise fibrils are not fully elucidated. This investigation examined the morphology, morphometry and organisation of proteoglycans three-dimensionally, in both normal and genetically altered mouse corneas, to gain a greater understanding of proteoglycan structure-function relationships. In summary, we found that proteoglycans are primarily responsible for the remarkable collagen organisation in the mouse cornea, which allows for corneal transparency. The self- association of proteoglycans into complexes is likely to result in a robust attachment of ...

Lirias: The transitional zone between limbus and peripheral cornea. An immunohistochemical studyLirias: The transitional zone between limbus and peripheral cornea. An immunohistochemical study
PURPOSE. The authors investigated the phenotypic characteristics of basally located transitional cells in peripheral superior cornea, characterized previously by their coexpression of cytokeratin 19 and vimentin and their negativity for AE5. METHODS. Twenty adult human corneas were studied, using in situ immunohistochemical techniques and a panel of specific monoclonal antibodies against various surface and cytoplasmic molecules. RESULTS. The transitional cells shared staining characteristics with limbal basal cells in their expression of alpha 6 beta 4-integrin, metallothionein, AE1, and transferrin receptor. CONCLUSIONS. These transitional epithelial cells exhibit a unique phenotype differing from that of the surrounding basal epithelial cells in the peripheral cornea but analogous to that of limbal basal cells. These findings further corroborate the hypothesis that, at least from an immunohistochemical point of view, transitional cells in the superior peripheral cornea exhibit stem cell ...

Magnification: 20X. Sponsored by Zeiss and awarded to an image created using one of its instruments, the award goes to an image by postdoctoral fellow Sarah Robertson and undergraduate researcher Johnson Thai, both from the lab of Dr. Sophie Deng.. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. When the middle layer of the cornea, the cornea stroma, is wounded, the healing process often causes corneal scars that lead to vision impairment. A corneal scratch is seen here (in black) at the center of the image. Collagen 1 (in green), a key player in wound healing, can be seen surrounding the nuclei of cells closest to the scratch.. The Deng lab studies the proteins that are involved in corneal stroma wound healing. They replicate the cellular processes that occur following corneal injury by growing corneal stroma fibroblasts in lab dishes and then scratching them to induce a wound. These studies are being done to inform the development of methods to regenerate ...

Further vision improvement can be an option through 1) Intacs® adjustments for different size, 2) removal (also known as explant) of the upper Intac segment, 3) Holcomb C3-R®, also called corneal crosslinking, to stabilize Keratoconus, and 4) CK (conductive keratoplasty) to improve astigmatism.. If you are considering having Intacs® done by a surgeon other than Dr. Brian, here are some compelling reasons you want to re-think that and have Dr. Brian perform your Intacs®.. ...

Pathogenic conversion of Foxp3+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells in Stromal Keratitis | The Journal of ImmunologyPathogenic conversion of Foxp3+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells in Stromal Keratitis | The Journal of Immunology
Ocular infection with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) can result in a chronic immuno-inflammatory lesion that is a significant cause of human blindness. IFN-γ producing CD4 + T cells are generally considered the main orchestrators, and lesions are more severe if the regulatory T cell (Treg) response is compromised. Tregs have been shown to lose FoxP3 (Treg lineage factor) and adopt alternate lineage fates in a changing cytokine environment. Moreover, little is known about the stability of Treg cells in an ongoing inflammatory reaction such as is the case of SK. In this study-using fate mapping mice, we were able to demonstrate that the population of ex-Tregs increased at the site of infection that is the cornea and also at the secondary lymphoid organs after HSV-1 infection. In vivo studies showed that these ex-Tregs acquired the Th1 and Th17 phenotype, which may play a destructive role in stromal keratitis. We also demonstrate in vivo that CD25lo subset of Tregs is less suppressive and more ...

Collagen Cross-Linking | Ocular Centre - Corneal SpecialistsCollagen Cross-Linking | Ocular Centre - Corneal Specialists
CXL is a unique treatment because it is noninvasive and targets the root of the problem which is the weakened cornea in keratoconus. CXL significantly increases the number of collagen bonds between the corneal layers, in effect returning the cornea to a more stable state. In contrast to other procedures like intrastromal ring segments or laser surgery, only CXL offers the potential to target the underlying cause and thus offer long-term benefits for those suffer from keratoconus.. More interestingly, CXL can be a part of a process in the management of keratoconus patients. It can be combined with Intacs before or after the procedure, and fine tuned with surface laser procedures. ...

PURPOSE: To identify risk factors for opaque bubble layer (OBL) formation and compare the incidence of OBL using a cone modification technique versus the original technique for LASIK flap creation using the VisuMax laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). METHODS: This retrospective study examined videos of flap creation using the VisuMax laser to identify OBL occurrence. Eyes were divided into three groups: eyes where OBL occurred using the original technique (OBL group), eyes where OBL did not occur using the original technique (no OBL group), and eyes in which the cone modification technique was used for LASIK flap creation (larger flap diameter) (cone modification technique group ...

When Eyes Get the Blues - WSAVA2013 - VINWhen Eyes Get the Blues - WSAVA2013 - VIN
Introduction and Background. The cornea remains transparent for many reasons. But the reason it is important to understand what is happening in a blue eye is that in a normal cornea, the collagen fibrils that make up the corneal stroma are uniformly spaced in a configuration that allows visible light to go through. While other tissues in the body have higher water contents, the cornea is only 78% water. This allows the collagen fibrils to maintain their optimal spacing. When excess water enters the cornea, it increases the space between the corneal fibrils, causing a wavelength-dependent decrease in light transmission through the cornea. This wavelength-dependent decrease is why the cornea not only turns cloudy when it is edematous, but it acquires a blueish hue as well.. As the cornea is surrounded by water (the tear film in front and the aqueous humor behind), the cornea must work very hard to regulate the water levels within its stroma. The outermost cells of the corneal epithelium have ...

RESULTS: The receptors for LXA4, ALX/Fpr-rs-2 and for RvE1, ChemR23 were each expressed by epithelium, stromal keratocytes, and infiltrated CD11b(+) cells in corneas. Compared to the vehicle-treated eye, ATLa-, RvD1-, and RvE1-treated eyes had reduced numbers of infiltrating neutrophils and macrophages and reduced mRNA expression levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGFR2. Animals treated with these mediators had significantly suppressed suture-induced or IL-1 beta-induced hemangiogenesis (HA) but not lymphangiogenesis. Interestingly, only the application of ATLa significantly suppressed VEGF-A-induced HA ...

The analysis of the stress-strain curves showed a different corneal response between treated (TS) and untreated (CS) samples. TS showed a stiffer behaviour than CS. The treated corneal tissue (TS) resulted 1.8, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.5 fold stiffer than the untreated sample (CS) at 6, 8, 10 and 12% stretch, respectively. The histological analysis of TS showed an increased fibrillar density with decrease of interlamellar space in comparison with CS. Keratocyte apoptosis was observed in TS even at deep stromal level. There is an evident absence of nuclei in the treated sample compared to the control. Interlamellar spaces correspond to the presence of a cellular body, but the nucleus could not be present at the depth of the tissue section ...

  • These results suggest that laminin-mimetic peptide nanofibers provide a promising injectable, synthetic scaffold system for cornea stroma regeneration. (jascoinc.com)
  • The ability to measure precisely their density and spatial distribution in the cornea is important for the understanding of corneal healing processes and the diagnostics of some corneal disorders. (uwaterloo.ca)
  • Purpose: Collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma in macular corneal dystrophy, on average, are more closely spaced than in the normal cornea. (cf.ac.uk)
  • Methods: Microbeam synchrotron X-ray fiber diffraction patterns were obtained in 25 μm steps across the whole thickness of a thin strip of a macular corneal dystrophy cornea obtained at keratoplasty. (cf.ac.uk)
  • We speculate that the ultrastructural abnormalities are more prevalent in the posterior stroma because the structural influence of sulphated keratan sulphate glycosaminoglycans/proteoglycans is high in this region of the cornea. (cf.ac.uk)
  • Infiltration of neutrophils and eosinophils into the mammalian cornea can result in loss of corneal clarity and severe visual impairment. (jimmunol.org)
  • To identify mediators of granulocyte recruitment to the corneal stroma, we determined the relative contribution of chemokine receptors CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)-2 (IL-8R homologue) and CCR1 using a murine model of ocular onchocerciasis (river blindness) in which neutrophils and eosinophils migrate from peripheral vessels to the central cornea. (jimmunol.org)

Ocular2
  • In this review, we examine elastic tissue in the corneal stroma with some mention of other ocular structures which have been more thoroughly described in the past. (elsevier.com)
  • These equations, which closely matched the experimental results, depicted corneal stiffening with age in a form suitable for implementation in numerical simulations of ocular biomechanical behaviour. (royalsocietypublishing.org)
Ulceration1
  • There have been at least two cases where corneal ulceration was caused by canine herpesvirus . (wikipedia.org)
Fibers4
  • The range of fiber angles and the fiber percentage having an angular displacement greater than ±3.5° relative to the corneal surface ("transverse fibers") was highest in the anterior stroma and decreased with depth. (arvojournals.org)
  • The lack of a preferred distribution of angled fibers with regard to corneal quadrant or radial position likely serves to evenly distribute loads and to avoid the formation of areas of stress concentration. (arvojournals.org)
  • 1 Corneal shape, which crucially defines its refractive function, is thought to be controlled by the mechanical properties of these larger collagen fibers and their three-dimensional (3-D) structural organization. (arvojournals.org)
  • Epithelial debridement wounds result in the loss of nerve endings and retraction of stroma nerve fibers. (diabetesjournals.org)
Anterior and posterior2
