Cytotoxicity of proparacaine to human corneal endothelial cells in vitro.
Proparacaine is a widely used topical anesthetic in ophthalmic optometry and surgery, and has been reported to have cytotoxic effects on rabbit corneal endothelial cells after prolonged and repeated usage. Since rabbit is an exceptive mammal whose corneal endothelial cells still maintaining proliferation abilities even in adulthood, whether proparacaine has cytotoxic effects on human corneal en...
متن کاملHuman Corneal Endothelial Cells Expanded In Vitro Are a Powerful Resource for Tissue Engineering
Human corneal endothelial cells have two major functions: barrier function mediated by proteins such as ZO-1 and pump function mediated by Na-K-ATPase which help to maintain visual function. However, human corneal endothelial cells are notorious for their limited proliferative capability in vivo and are therefore prone to corneal endothelial dysfunction that eventually may lead to blindness. At...
متن کاملGeneration of Human Corneal Endothelial Cells via In Vitro Ocular Lineage Restriction of Pluripotent Stem Cells
Purpose We generate a renewable supply of corneal endothelial cells (CEC) from human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) under defined culture conditions. Methods Corneal endothelial cell induction was driven by small molecules in a stepwise fashion of lineage specification. During the initial phase, PSC fate was restricted to the eye field-like state and became eye field stem cells (EFSCs). In the...
متن کاملFibrin induction of thrombospondin in corneal endothelial cells in vitro.
PURPOSE Fibrin deposition in the anterior chamber of the eye occurs in response to injury or inflammation and can permanently damage the corneal endothelium. Fibrin functions as a mediator of inflammation and wound healing by affecting cell morphology and function in a variety of cells, including corneal endothelial cells. We hypothesized that fibrin can directly induce corneal endothelial cell...
متن کاملExtended Life of Human Corneal Endothelial Cells
Methods. Human corneal endothelial cells were transfected with the SV40 large T antigen-coding plasmid pSV3neo using the electroporation method. Transfected and control cells were propagated in culture until senescence. Polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence were used to demonstrate messenger RNA and protein, respectively, for the Simian virus 40 large T antigen in the transfected cel...
