To explore the variability in interleukin-12 (IL-12) secretion in human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs), the effects of IL-12 on HCF viability and migration, and the effects of recombinant human transforming growth factor-b1 (rhTGF-b1) and moxifloxacin (MOX) on IL-12 expression.

Moxifloxacin Modulated TGF-β1-Related Interleukin-12 Secretion in Corneal Fibroblasts.
Purpose To explore the variability in interleukin-12 (IL-12) secretion in human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs), the effects of IL-12 on HCF viability and migration, and the effects of recombinant human transforming growth factor-β1 (rhTGF-β1) and moxifloxacin (MOX) on IL-12 expression. Methods IL-12 secretion in 27 primary HCFs incubated with rhTGF-β1 and/or MOX was analyzed using immunoblotting....
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Matrix by Umbilical Cord Stem Cells
Corneal integrity is critical for vision. Corneal wounds frequently heal with scarring that impairs vision. Recently, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (cord stem cells) have been investigated for tissue engineering and therapy due to their availability and differentiation potential. In this study, we used cord stem cells in a 3-dimensional (3D) stroma-like model to observe extracellu...
متن کاملARTICLE IN PRESS FEEDBACK INHIBITION OF HIGH TGF-b 1 CONCENTRATIONS ON MYOFIBROBLAST INDUCTION AND CONTRACTION BY DUPUYTREN’S FIBROBLASTS
Myofibroblasts and TGF-b1 are implicated in Dupuytren’s contracture. Transforming growth factor b1(TGF-b1) (1–10 ng/ml) increases myofibroblast induction in Dupuytren’s fibroblasts and contraction in a collagen model. However, higher doses (20–30 ng/ml) inhibit contraction in dermal fibroblasts. We hypothesized higher doses of TGF-b1 would inhibit induction of myofibroblasts and contraction by ...
متن کاملA corneal epithelial inhibitor of stromal cell collagenase synthesis identified as TGF-beta 2.
PURPOSE To determine the molecular mechanisms whereby substances released by corneal epithelial cells act to inhibit the elaboration of collagenolytic activity by corneal stromal cells and to determine whether inhibitory activity might be mediated by interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) or transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta. METHODS Conditioned media were generated from primary cultu...
متن کاملEGF, EGF receptor, basic FGF, TGF beta-1, and IL-1 alpha mRNA in human corneal epithelial cells and stromal fibroblasts.
We sought to determine whether human corneal epithelial cells and stromal fibroblasts synthesize messenger RNAs (mRNA) coding for epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGF receptor, basic fibroblast growth factor (basic FGF), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), and interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha). Total cellular RNA was extracted from cultured stromal fibroblasts and ex vivo and cultured ...
