To isolate and characterize limbal mesenchymal stem cells (LMSCs) from human corneoscleral rings.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Cells were isolated from corneoscleral rings and cultured in a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-selective media and examined for differentiation, phenotyping and characterization.
LMSCs were capable of trilineage differentiation, adhered to tissue culture plastic, expressed HLA class I and cell surface antigens associated with human MSC while having no/low expression of HLA class II and negative hematopoietic lineage markers. They were capable for CXCL12-mediated cellular migration. LMSCs adhered, proliferated on amniotic membrane and expressed the common putative limbal stem cell markers.
Limbal-derived MSC exhibited plasticity, could maintain limbal markers expression and demonstrated viable growth on amniotic membrane.
从人角膜缘巩膜环中分离并鉴定角膜缘间充质干细胞(LMSCs)。
从角膜缘巩膜环中分离细胞,在间充质干细胞(MSC)选择性培养基中培养,并对其分化、表型和特性进行检测。
LMSCs能够三系分化,贴附于组织培养塑料上,表达I类人类白细胞抗原(HLA)和与人MSC相关的细胞表面抗原,而II类HLA表达无/低,造血谱系标志物为阴性。它们能够进行CXCL12介导的细胞迁移。LMSCs能在羊膜上贴附、增殖并表达常见的假定角膜缘干细胞标志物。
源自角膜缘的MSC表现出可塑性,能够维持角膜缘标志物表达,并在羊膜上显示出良好的生长状态。
