Response of human trabecular meshwork cells to topographic cues on the nanoscale level.
UNLABELLED purpose To determine how primary human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells are influenced by their interaction with nanopatterned substrates. METHODS HTM cells from several individuals were grown on planar or anisotropically ordered nanopatterned surfaces. Microscopy was used to measure cellular elongation and alignment. Cells were also incubated with 10(-7) M dexamethasone for compari...
متن کاملEffect of Topographic Cues on in Vitro Cultured Trabecular Meshwork Endothelial Cells
This paper reports the response of trabecular meshwork (TM) endothelial cells to various topographical cues at microscale and nanoscale. Cells are cultured on substrates with aligned and random features fabricated using electrospinning and microfabrication. The expression of myocilin, a characteristic protein of TM cells, is examined. The results show that all the topographic surfaces up-regula...
متن کامل1134 Response of trabecular meshwork cells to phagocytic challenges
Purpose: To determine whether mobile trabecular meshwork cell$ can contract collagen matrices in vitro Methods: Bovine and human meshwork cells were cultured and seeded into or onto type I collagen matrices in sterile conditions. The tloating matrices were measured on a daily basis to determine redtlction in diameter over time. Results: The meshwork cells contracted the collagen gells in a time...
متن کاملsCD44 internalization in human trabecular meshwork cells.
PURPOSE To determine whether soluble CD44 (sCD44), a likely biomarker of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), is internalized in cultured human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells and trafficked to mitochondria. METHODS In vitro, 32-kD sCD44 was isolated from human sera, biotinylated, and dephosphorylated. TM cells were incubated for 1 hour at 4°C with biotinylated albumin (b-albumin), biotin-label...
متن کاملEffect of H-7 on cultured human trabecular meshwork cells.
PURPOSE To determine the effect of the serine-threonine kinase inhibitor H-7, which blocks actomyosin contractility and increases outflow facility in live monkeys, on morphology, cytoskeleton, and cellular adhesions of human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells in culture. METHODS Cultured HTM cells were videographically recorded and evaluated before and after exposure to H-7 at different concentr...
