A Microfluidic Wound-healing Assay to Study Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Migration under Oxygen Gradients
Endothelial cell (EC) plays an important role in various biological phenomena, which are highly regulated by oxygen microenvironments. For instance, tumor angiogenesis initiated by hypoxia microenvironment induces migration of ECs to form blood vessels. Previous studies suggested that hypoxia induces migration of ECs by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) under different oxygen tensions. ...
متن کاملA microfluidic wound-healing assay for quantifying endothelial cell migration.
Endothelial migration is an important process in the formation of blood vessels and the repair of damaged tissue. To study this process in the laboratory, versatile and reliable migration assays are essential. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the microfluidic version of the conventional wound-healing assay is a useful research tool for vascular science. Endothelial cells wer...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor stimulates corneal endothelial cell growth and endothelial wound healing of human corneas.
PURPOSE To determine the dose response of human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on mitogenic activity, and the supplementary role of serum in cultured bovine and human corneal endothelial cells (BCECs, HCECs). To investigate the effect of bFGF on endothelial wound healing of human corneas in vitro. METHODS In cell culture, DNA synthesis was assessed by 3H-thymidine incorpora...
متن کاملWound healing in cultured corneal endothelial cells.
Following the application of needle, intraocular lens, freeze, and laser wounds to the center of discrete 1 cm2 areas, density-limited monolayers of cultured rabbit corneal endothelium demonstrate wound healing responses similar to those seen in in vivo corneas. The wounded monolayer reforms in a time period consistent with that seen in both in vivo and in vitro organ culture models, thus sugge...
متن کاملHyaluronidase Modulates Inflammatory Response and Accelerates the Cutaneous Wound Healing
Hyaluronidases are enzymes that degrade hyaluronan an important constituent of the extracellular matrix. They have been used as a spreading agent, improving the absorption of drugs and facilitating the subcutaneous infusion of fluids. Here, we investigated the influence of bovine testes hyaluronidase (HYAL) during cutaneous wound healing in in vitro and in vivo assays. We demonstrated in the wo...
