兔骨髓间充质干细胞及人羊膜上皮细胞移植治疗兔角膜缘干细胞缺损的研究

背景角膜缘干细胞缺乏可引起致盲性眼病,但传统的治疗方法疗效欠佳。最近的研究表明,骨髓间充质干细胞（BMSCs）和人羊膜上皮细胞（AECs）有分化成多种细胞的能力,但其对角膜缘于细胞缺乏的疗效仍有待研究和评价。目的观察和对比兔BMSCs和人AECs移植治疗兔角膜缘干细胞缺损的治疗效果。方法将18只新西兰白兔采用随机数字表法分为羊膜基质（AS）移植组、兔BMSCs移植组和人AECs移植组,每组6只。将浸有NaOH溶液的滤纸贴附于角膜表面建立碱烧伤角膜缘干细胞缺损的动物模型。抽取兔髂窝处骨髓并收集人胎盘组织分别分离、制备兔BMSCs和人AECs,通过密度梯度离心加贴壁培养法及胰蛋白酶多次分步消化法获取兔BMSCs和人AECs,采用逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT—PCR）法对培养细胞进行鉴定,再接种于人去上皮AS上,按照动物的分组分别将上述材料缝合至动物模型的角膜表面。术后28d,对各组动物的角膜新生血管（CNV）评分以及角膜混浊度评分进行对比,对角膜组织行组织病理学检查并针对角膜上皮细胞特异性标记物细胞角蛋白3（CK3）行免疫组织化学染色。结果第3代兔BMSCs接种于AS载体上12h后贴附生长,第1代人AECs接种于AS载体上48h后呈单层膜状生长,传代细胞经RT—PCR鉴定符合目标细胞的特征。兔BMSCs移植组术后28d,免疫组织化学染色结果显示,兔BMSCs移植组和人AECs移植组的角膜表面细胞CK3均呈阳性表达,而AS组CK3表达阴性。与AS移植组比较,兔BMSCs移植组和人AECs移植组CNV评分以及角膜混浊度评分明显降低,差异均有统计学意义（BMSCs：Z=-2．983,P=0．003;Z=-2．844,P=0．004;AECs：Z=-2．817,P=0．005;Z=-2．041,P=0．041）。组织病理学检查显示,AS组兔角膜组织有较多的炎性细胞生长,胶原纤维排列紊乱。兔BMSCs组术后角膜表层形成了角膜上皮样的复层结构,无明显杯状细胞,角膜基质内无新生血管生长,炎性细胞减少,胶原纤维排列更加规则,且兔BMSCs移植组角膜透明度明显优于人AECs移植组,差异有统计学意义（Z=-2．091,P=0．037）,而2组间CNV评分的差异无统计学意义（Z=-0．267,P=0．789）。结论移植至兔角膜缘干细胞缺损角膜表面的兔BMSCs和人AECs均能分化为角膜上皮细胞样细胞,可抑制CNV,减轻角膜混浊。在改善角膜透明度方面,兔BMSCs优于人AECs。     

兔角膜缘上皮细胞培养后自体移植修复

目的：运用培养角膜缘上皮细胞联合人羊膜行自体移植的方法，观察植片修复兔眼角膜上皮的疗效。方法：选用健康新西兰白兔20只，制成右眼角膜缘干细胞缺乏的兔眼模型，其中12只兔行角膜缘上皮细胞培养联合羊膜自体移植，另外8只兔只进行单纯羊膜移植。术后每周对眼表情况进行评分，术后1mo眼角膜进行苏木素-伊红(HE)染色和透射电镜观察。结果：移植了含有自体角膜上皮细胞的兔眼，术后早期都形成了角膜上皮化并明显抑制了新生血管的再生，HE染色和电镜观察表明培养并移植的角膜上皮与正常的角膜上皮无明显差异；而只接受羊膜移植的兔眼，术后又出现角膜混浊和明显的新生血管，表明角膜表面被结膜上皮覆盖。结论：该方法术后早期可以恢复角膜上皮化，重建正常眼表，疗效明显优于单纯羊膜移植。

Preoperative evaluation of cultured human corneal limbal epithelium on amniotic membrane by confocal microscopy

PURPOSE: Although sheet transplantation with cultured corneal limbal epithelium has been widely performed as a strategy for ocular surface reconstruction, there has been no optimal method for evaluating the morphology of these sheets prior to transplantation. We propose the use of in vivo confocal microscopy as a novel method for the evaluation of limbal corneal epithelium cultured on amniotic membrane. METHODS: Human limbal epithelial sheets were grown on amniotic membranes by following a standard protocol and were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Morphology was studied using in vivo confocal microscopy for cultured corneal epithelium on amniotic membrane, human intact amniotic membranes, and epithelium-denuded human amniotic membranes. RESULTS: Histologic examination showed a stratified corneal epithelium sheet by the fourth week of culture. The surface and basal layers of the cultured limbal epithelium and amniotic membrane were clearly distinguished by in vivo confocal microscopy. A monolayer of amniotic epithelial cells was observed on the intact amniotic membrane, but not on the epithelium-denuded human amniotic membrane. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the use of in vivo confocal microscopy as a valid technique for the preoperative evaluation of cultured corneal limbal epithelial cell sheets on amniotic membrane.     

Myogel supports the ex-vivo amplification of corneal epithelial cells

Limbal stem cell deficiency leads to conjunctivalisation of the cornea and subsequent loss of vision. The recent development of transplantation of ex-vivo amplified corneal epithelium, derived from limbal stem cells, has shown promise in treating this challenging condition. The purpose of this research was to compare a variety of cell sheet carriers for their suitability in creating a confluent corneal epithelium from amplified limbal stem cells. Cadaveric donor limbal cells were cultured using an explant technique, free of 3T3 feeder cells, on a variety of cell sheet carriers, including denuded amniotic membrane, Matrigel, Myogel and stromal extract. Comparisons in rate of growth and degree of differentiation were made, using immunocytochemistry (CK3, CK19 and ABCG2). The most rapid growth was observed on Myogel and denuded amniotic membrane, these two cell carriers also provided the most reliable substrata for achieving confluence. The putative limbal stem cell marker, ABCG2, stained positively on cells grown over Myogel and Matrigel but not for those propagated on denuded amniotic membrane. In the clinical setting amniotic membrane has been demonstrated to provide a suitable carrier for limbal stem cells and the resultant epithelium has been shown to be successful in treating limbal stem cell deficiency. Myogel may provide an alternative cell carrier with a further reduction in risk as it is has the potential to be derived from an autologous muscle biopsy in the clinical setting.     

Amniotic membrane transplantation or conjunctival limbal autograft for limbal stem cell deficiency induced by 5-fluorouracil in glaucoma surgeries

PURPOSE: To determine if human amniotic membrane transplantation or limbal stem cell transplantation is effective to restore the corneal surface with partial or total limbal stem cell deficiency, respectively, caused by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) toxicity after glaucoma surgeries. METHODS: Partial and total limbal stem cell deficiency was confirmed by impression cytology as the cause of reduced vision and corneal surface breakdown in a 69-year-old man and a 67-year-old man, respectively, who both had received a total of 105 mg 5-FU injections. Amniotic membrane transplantation or conjunctival limbal autograft was performed for corneal surface reconstruction, respectively. RESULTS: For a period of 15 months of follow-up, the visual acuity improved, and their corneal surfaces remained avascular, smooth, and without recurrence of limbal stem cell deficiency. CONCLUSION: Limbal stem cell deficiency can occur as a late complication for patients receiving 5-FU after glaucoma filtering surgeries. Partial limbal stem cell deficiency can be treated with amniotic membrane transplantation alone, whereas limbal transplantation must be considered as an alternative for total limbal stem cell deficiency to restore the corneal surface integrity and vision.

Sectorial conjunctival epitheliectomy and amniotic membrane transplantation for partial limbal stem cells deficiency

CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old man developed a partial limbal stem cell deficiency secondary to a chemical injury in the left eye. He was treated with a sectorial conjunctival epitheliectomy and amniotic membrane transplantation. After 3 weeks there was an intact, smooth and stable corneal epithelium. DISCUSSION: This case report emphasizes that conjunctival epitheliectomy and amniotic membrane transplantation appears to be a safe and effective method of restoring a stable corneal epithelium for cases of partial limbal stem cell deficiency.
