Recurrent epithelial erosions develop in the cornea due to prior injury or genetic predisposition. Studies of recurrent animal models allow us gain insight into how form and are resolved. While slowing corneal cell migration reducing their proliferation following treatment with mitomycin C reduce erosion formation mice after sterile debridement injury, additional factors have been identified re...
The transparent corneal stroma contains a population of corneal fibroblasts termed keratocytes, which are interspersed between the collagen lamellae. Under normal conditions, the keratocytes are quiescent and transparent. However, after corneal injury the keratocytes become activated and transform into backscattering wound-healing fibroblasts resulting in corneal opacification. At present, the ...
Abstract Corneal epithelium responds to insults with a rapid wound healing, which is essential for maintaining vision. The proper balance of apoptotic and proliferation-stimulating pathways critical normal regeneration. Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) an important growth factor during the development nervous system exerts cytoprotective effects in injuries. aim presen...
Alkali burns of the cornea may lead to permanent visual impairment or complete blindness. In the current study, the role of microRNA 296 (miR-296) was explored in mouse corneal neovascularization induced by alkali burns. An alkali burn model in Balb/c mice was developed to study chemical corneal injuries. The expression of the miR-296 gene was measured by reverse-transcription-quantitative poly...
BACKGROUND Nocardia keratitis following surgical management of penetrating corneal injury is very rare. CASE A 38-year-old male presented with a deep stromal corneal infiltration with hypopyon of 10 days duration in his left eye. He had undergone a corneal tear repair on that eye 15 days prior to the onset of keratitis. The infiltrations were along the sutured corneal tear tracts. Before pres...
A 31-year-old man presented to our clinic for an ocular trauma to his left eye. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 OS (left eye). Anterior segment examination showed an epithelial defect, which implies a direct injury to the cornea. A marked focal stromal edema accompanied by Descemet's membrane folds were located at 10 o'clock in the paraxial area, about 4 mm apart from the corneal ce...
FK506 binding protein 12 (FK506BP) is a small peptide with a single FK506BP domain that is involved in suppression of immune response and reactive oxygen species. FK506BP has emerged as a potential drug target for several inflammatory diseases. Here, we examined the protective effects of directly applied cell permeable FK506BP (PEP-1-FK506BP) on corneal alkali burn injury (CAI). In the cornea, ...
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of corneal epithelial wounding on lacrimal gland expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the rabbit model. METHODS Rabbits had corneal epithelial scrape injuries, and the lacrimal gland was removed at different times after wounding. HGF, KGF, and EGF mRNA expression was examined by quan...
Corneal keratocyte apoptosis triggered by cornel debridement is one mechanism of corneal disorders. In this study, the feasibility of cyclo-(d-Trp-Tyr) peptide nanotubes (PNTs) as carriers of caspase 3 silence shRNA delivery was assessed. A model of epithelial injury by epithelial debridement was applied to investigate the feasibility of PNTs as gene delivery carriers on corneal injury. First, ...
PURPOSE To determine whether mitomycin C (MMC) alters appearance and disappearance of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) in the cornea stroma, using an epithelial scrape injury in eye mouse model. METHODS Twenty-mice underwent mechanical epithelium debridement in the central cornea using 20% ethanol. After the scrape, the right eye received 0.02% MMC for one minute, while the left eye receive...
