An engineered human conjunctival-like tissue to study ocular surface inflammatory diseases
The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional model of the human conjunctiva that can be used to perform physiology and pathophysiology experiments. Fibrin-based matrices (derived from human plasma or plasma cryoprecipitate) were used as scaffolds, and primary cells were obtained from conjunctival tissue. Conjunctival constructs were analyzed by immunofluorescent staining and scannin...
متن کاملInterleukin-17 in Various Ocular Surface Inflammatory Diseases
Recently, the association of Th-17 cells or IL-17 with ocular inflammatory diseases such as uveitis, scleritis and dry eye syndrome was discovered. We assessed whether interleukin (IL)-17 was present in the tears of various ocular surface inflammatory diseases and the tear IL-17 concentrations were clinically correlated with various ocular surface inflammatory diseases. We measured concentratio...
متن کاملCell and tissue specific expression of human Krüppel-like transcription factors in human ocular surface.
PURPOSE The ocular surface, composed of the conjunctiva and the cornea, is essential for vision. Its integrity depends on numerous molecular and cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, adhesion, and extracellular matrix homeostasis, whose deregulation can induce ophthalmological pathologies. The Krüppel-like transcription factors (KLFs) family is made up of 15 C2H2...
متن کاملProstaglandin E receptor 4 expression in human conjunctival epithelium and its downregulation in devastating ocular surface inflammatory disorders.
Maskin in 1994 as being effective in the treatment of ocular neoplasia. A limited number of cases in the literature also show the cytostatic effect of ATRA on ocular surface dysplasia. Our early experience with topical ATRA alone was consistent with early reports of effectiveness, with no response occurring in certain patients. Our early experience with topical interferon alfa-2b demonstrated a...
متن کاملAcidity and buffering system of ocular surface (according to study of conjunctival sac)
ANNALS OF OPHTHALMOLOGY 5, 2014 The acid–base balance is a part of human homeostasis. Cells and tissues of the human body are susceptible to pH change: stability of molecular structures and enzyme activity can be maintained only in the tolerable range of pH. The maintenance of the acid–base balance is vital biochemical parameter required for normal physiology, and its change is associated with ...
