چکیده
u To study the cytoskeleral elements and the presence of macrophages and the cell-adhesion related HNK-1 epitope in secondary cataracts after extracapsular cataract extraction and IOL implantation. &&Q& Twenty-five formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded pseudophakic human eyes obtained at autopsy were studied with 7 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to vunentm, cytokeratins 8 and 18, desmin, a-smooth muscle actin and to the HNK-1 epitope. Additionally, a MAb was used to detect macrophages. The specimens were immunostained using the avidin-biotinylated peroxidase complex (ABC) method and studied by light microscopy. Results MAb Vim 3B4 to vimentin immunolabeled spindle-shaped cells in the secondary cataract in 17/18 eyes. Immunoreactive spindle-shaped cells were also found with MAb CAM5.2 to cytokeratin 8 in 14/19 secondary cataracts, but with MAB CY-90 to cytokeratin I8 only in l/l9 secondary cataracts. No immunoreaction was seen with MAb D33 to desmin, whereas MAb lA4 to ol-smooth muscle actin immunolabelled spindle-shaped cells in 16119 secondary cataracts. A granular immunoreaction with MAbs HNK-1 and NC-1 to the HNK-1 epitope was present within the secondary cataract adherent to the lens capsule in all cases. This immunoreaction was attributed to the extracellular manix. MAb PG-Ml revealed few round cells representmg macrophages in 8119 secondary cataracts, and granular immunoreacdon representing disrupted macrophages was seen in additional 5 eyes. The lens capsule was not labeled with any of the MAbs used. Conclusions Immunoreactlon for vimentin, cyrokeratin 8 and ol-smooth muscle actin revealed spindle-shaped cells in the secondary cataract of the human eye. Based on their antigenic profile, these cells are myoepithelial in nature and probably represent metaplastic lens epithelial cells.

In a systematic effort to identify a potent antiproliferative agent, four complexes of vanadium containing maltol and deferiprone ligands were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five human and animal cancer cell lines, including human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), human cervix epithelial carcinoma (HeLa), human colon cancer cell line (HT-29), human leukemia cell line ...
متن کاملEffect of Matrigel on Function and Morphology of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cell in vitro
The importance of extra cellular matrix (ECM) in development and function of different cells has been reported but little is known about its role in human endometrial epithelial cells. The aim of the present study was to examine effects of artificial ECM (Matrigel) and progesterone on the function and morphology of human endometrial epithelial cells in vitro. Methods: Endometrial samples were ...

Background: In apoptosis is physiological cell death which eliminates injured and old cells. Any disruption in apoptosis, leads to disease. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with estrogen-like, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties; also it showed cell prolifratory and inhibitory effect. The aim of present study was to determine resveratrol effect on apoptosis of human endometrial epith...
