As a strategy to improve the outcome of cultivated corneal epithelial transplantation, the role of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) is investigated in promoting corneal epithelial growth and functions. Human telomerase-immortalized corneal epithelial cells were characterized and its functions evaluated by scratch migration assay, cellular senescence, HLA expression and spheres formation with hUC-MSC. Expression of corneal epithelial markers was influenced by the duration and method of co-culture. Indirect co-culture improved cellular migration and delayed senescence when treated after 3 and 5 days. hUC-MSC downregulated expression of HLA Class I and II in IFN-γ-stimulated human telomerase-immortalized corneal epithelial cells. hUC-MSC promote corneal epithelial growth and functions after treatment with hUC-MSC.
为了提高培养角膜上皮移植的效果,研究了人脐带间充质干细胞(hUC-MSCs)在促进角膜上皮生长和功能方面的作用。用人端粒酶永生化角膜上皮细胞进行特征描述,并通过划痕迁移试验、细胞衰老、HLA 表达和与 hUC-MSC 形成球体来评估其功能。共培养的持续时间和方法影响角膜上皮标志物的表达。间接共培养可改善细胞迁移,在处理后第 3 天和第 5 天可延迟衰老。hUC-MSC 下调 IFN-γ刺激的人端粒酶永生化角膜上皮细胞中 HLA Ⅰ类和Ⅱ类的表达。hUC-MSC 在经 hUC-MSC 处理后可促进角膜上皮的生长和功能。
