主 题:corneal wound healing mesenchymal stem cells keratinocyte growth factor-2 autologous serum amniotic membrane
摘 要:AIM:To investigate the healing process after severe corneal epithelial damage in rats treated with mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)cultured with or without keratinocyte growth factor(KGF-2)and autologous serum(AS)on amniotic membrane(AM).Many patients are blind and devastated by severe ocular surface diseases due to limbal stem cell *** marrow-derived MSCs are potential sources for cellbased tissue engineering to repair or replace the corneal tissue,having the potential to differentiate to epithelial ***:The study included 5 groups each including 10 female Sprague Dawley rats in addition to20 male rats used as bone marrow *** I rats received AM+MSCs,Group II rats AM+MSCs cultured with KGF-2,Group III rats AM+MSCs cultured with KGF-2+AS,Group IV rats only AM and Group V rats,*** was derived from blood drawn from male rats and bone marrow was obtained from the femur and tibia bones of the same *** effect was evaluated with clinical,histopathological and immunohistochemical *** engraftment was demonstrated via detection of donor genotype(Y+)in the recipient tissue(X)with polymerase chain ***:Corneal healing was significantly better in Groups I-III rats treated with MSC transplantation compared to Group IV and Group V rats with supportive treatment *** best results were obtained in Group III rats with 90%transparency,70%lack of neovascularization,and 100%epithelium damage limited to less than 1/4 of ***:We suggest that culture of MSCs with KGF-2 and AS on AM is effective in corneal repair in case of irreversible damage to limbal stem cells.
