Comparison of Ultra Structure and Gene Expression of Cultured Limbal Stem Cells and Fresh Conjunctival, Limbal and Corneal Tissues
Purpose: The present study intends to show the characteristics of cultured limbal stem cell (CLSCs) and to compare them with normal Conjunctival (C), Limbal (L) and Cornea (K) tissues. Materials and Methods: The expressions of a set of genes potentially involved in differentiation and stemness function of limbal stem cells were assessed in freshly prepared limbal, corneal, and conjunctival tis...
متن کاملMucin gene expression in immortalized human corneal-limbal and conjunctival epithelial cell lines.
PURPOSE The corneal and conjunctival epithelia, which cover the ocular surface, play an important role in preventing pathogen penetrance into the eye and maintaining a wet-surface phenotype by producing highly hydrophilic mucin molecules for their apical surfaces. Ocular surface infections, wounding, and pathologies resulting in dry eye threaten sight and can cause blindness. Understanding the ...
متن کاملGene-expression analysis of polyI:C-stimulated primary human conjunctival epithelial cells.
BACKGROUND The authors previously reported that human ocular surface epithelium expressed TLR3 and that its ligand polyI:C stimulated the secretion of IL-6, IL-8 and IFN-β. In this study, to examine comprehensive effects of polyI:C stimulation of primary human conjunctival epithelial cells (PHCjECs), the authors performed a gene-expression analysis of the polyI:C-stimulated PHCjECs using oligon...
متن کاملConjunctival Z-plasty for Pterygium: Comparison with Conjunctival Autografting
Pterygium is an abnormal overgrowth of the conjunctiva onto the cornea. Surgical management is the choice of treatment when persistent discomfort, visual distortion, and restricted ocular motility bothers patient’s life.1 Although an easy procedure, the main problem with the surgical excision of the pterygium is the recurrence rate, which can be as high as 30 to 82% (1-3). Recurrence is usually...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of cultured human conjunctival goblet cells.
PURPOSE To isolate and characterize goblet cells from normal human conjunctival tissue to determine whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors are present and whether EGF can influence goblet cell proliferation. METHODS Goblet cells were isolated from explant cultures established from normal conjunctival tissue harvested from patients during periocular surgery. The cells were grown in RP...
