Goblet cell loss abrogates ocular surface immune tolerance.
Intestinal epithelial cells condition tolerogenic properties in DCs. Aqueous-deficient dry eye is associated with goblet cell (GC) loss and increased IFN-γ expression in the conjunctiva. We hypothesized that loss of GCs reduces tolerance-inducing properties of antigen presenting cells (APCs) in the conjunctiva and draining nodes. Mice lacking the SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription ...
متن کاملGoblet Cells Contribute to Ocular Surface Immune Tolerance—Implications for Dry Eye Disease
Conjunctival goblet cell (GC) loss in dry eye is associated with ocular surface inflammation. This study investigated if conjunctival GCs contribute to ocular surface immune tolerance. Antigens applied to the ocular surface, imaged by confocal microscopy, passed into the conjunctival stroma through goblet cell associated passages (GAPs) in wild type C57BL/6 (WT), while ovalbumin (OVA) was retai...
متن کاملSpontaneous Ocular Surface Inflammation and Goblet Cell Disappearance in I B Gene-Disrupted Mice
PURPOSE. The ocular surface epithelium is part of the mucosal defense system. Because transcription factor NFB in mucosal epithelial cells plays a central role in regulating the genes that govern the onset of mucosal inflammatory responses, we examined the role of a regulator of NFB, I B , in murine ocular surface inflammation. METHODS. The eyes of I B / mice were analyzed biomicroscopically an...
متن کاملGITR pathway activation abrogates tumor immune suppression through loss of regulatory T cell lineage stability.
Ligation of GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-related gene, or TNFRSF18) by agonist antibody has recently entered into early phase clinical trials for the treatment of advanced malignancies. Although the ability of GITR modulation to induce tumor regression is well-documented in preclinical studies, the underlying mechanisms of action, particularly its effects on...
متن کاملEffect of tear hyperosmolarity and signs of clinical ocular surface pathology upon conjunctival goblet cell function in the human ocular surface.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of tear hyperosmolarity and signs of clinical ocular surface pathology on conjunctival goblet cell population. METHODS 111 participants were assessed using tear osmolarity (TO) measurements and a comprehensive selection of clinical ophthalmic tests. The resultant clinical database was assessed for evidence of patterns of composite increasing pathology. The to...
