Human corneal epithelial basement membrane and integrin alterations in diabetes and diabetic retinopathy.

Corneas of diabetic patients have abnormal healing and epithelial adhesion, which may be due to alterations of the corneal extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM). To identify such alterations, various ECM and BM components and integrin receptors were studied by immunofluorescence on sections of normal and diabetic human corneas. Age-matched corneas from 15 normal subjects, 10 dia...

P-98: Ultrastructural Study of Basement Membrane of Seminiferous Tubules in Adult Diabetic Rats with Spermatogenic Alterations

Background: The complications of diabetes are the major problems that occur in diabetic patients. It has been reported that, insulin insufficiency and the impairment of regulatory action of this hormone on Leydig and Sertoli cells have an important role in testicular alterations. Testicular disorders and change in normal spermatogenesis is one of the consequences of diabetes. This study was des...

Abnormal deposition of laminin and type IV collagen at corneal epithelial basement membrane during wound healing in diabetic rats.

PURPOSE To understand the pathophysiology of the corneal basement membrane in diabetes, we compared the localization of laminin and type IV collagen in the epithelial basement membrane during corneal epithelial wound healing in diabetic and nondiabetic rats. METHODS Streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes in half the rats. Two weeks later, the whole corneal epithelium was debrided. Diabeti...

Alterations of epithelial stem cell marker patterns in human diabetic corneas and effects of c-met gene therapy

PURPOSE We have previously identified specific epithelial proteins with altered expression in human diabetic central corneas. Decreased hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-met) and increased proteinases were functionally implicated in the changes of these proteins in diabetes. The present study examined whether limbal stem cell marker patterns were altered in diabetic corneas and whether c-met...

Effects of Insulin on Fibronectin Alterations in Sciatic Nerve of Diabetic Rats-A Brief Report

Objective: Alteration in the basement membrane proteins maybe associated with diabetic neuropathy. Fibronectin is one of the most important components of peripheral nerves basement membrane. In this study we investigated the effects of insulin administration on prevention of alteration in fibronectin contents of sciatic nerve in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four wistar rats wer...
