To determine whether extracellular matrix (ECM) influences the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), a marker for myofibroblasts, in cultured porcine lens epithelial cells (LECs).
Porcine LECs were cultured for 6 days in an F-12 nutrient mixture supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum on wells that were coated with laminin, fibronectin, type I collagen, or type IV collagen. LECs cultured on uncoated wells served as a control. Alpha-SMA was detected immunocytochemically with a mouse monoclonal antibody, and the ratio of the number of alpha-SMA-positive cells to the total number of cells, the P/T ratio, was calculated.
The P/T ratio of the LECs on the uncoated dishes was about 5%. LECs cultured on wells coated with laminin or type IV collagen significantly reduced the ratio, whereas fibronectin or type I collagen had no effect.
The ECM influences alpha-SMA expression in cultured porcine LECs.
确定细胞外基质(ECM)是否会影响培养的猪晶状体上皮细胞(LECs)中α平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA,一种肌成纤维细胞标志物)的表达。
将猪LECs在补充有5%胎牛血清的F-12营养混合物中,在包被有层粘连蛋白、纤连蛋白、I型胶原蛋白或IV型胶原蛋白的孔中培养6天。在未包被的孔中培养的LECs作为对照。用小鼠单克隆抗体通过免疫细胞化学法检测α-SMA,并计算α-SMA阳性细胞数与细胞总数的比值,即P/T比值。
未包被培养皿上的LECs的P/T比值约为5%。在包被有层粘连蛋白或IV型胶原蛋白的孔中培养的LECs显著降低了该比值,而纤连蛋白或I型胶原蛋白则没有影响。
