The effect of sodium hyaluronate (Na-HA) on the growth of rabbit corneal epithelial cells was investigated in vitro by using MTT assay and [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Na-HA, with a molecular weight of 86 x 10(4), enhanced the growth of the corneal epithelial cells cultured on a fibronectin (FN) coated dish, but when cells were cultured on a noncoated dish, Na-HA did not enhance the growth of the cells. Na-HA, labeled with 5-aminofluorescein (FA-HA), bound to the corneal epithelial cells, and the CD44-like molecule was identified on the cells by using a monoclonal antibody, OS/37. Furthermore, the binding of FA-HA to the cells was significantly inhibited by the monoclonal antibody. These results suggest that Na-HA binds to the CD44-like molecule associated with FN and then enhances the growth of the corneal epithelial cells.
采用MTT法和[3H]-胸腺嘧啶核苷掺入法,在体外研究了透明质酸钠(Na-HA)对兔角膜上皮细胞生长的影响。分子量为86×10(4)的Na-HA可促进在纤连蛋白(FN)包被培养皿上培养的角膜上皮细胞的生长,但当细胞在未包被的培养皿上培养时,Na-HA并不能促进细胞生长。用5-氨基荧光素标记的Na-HA(FA-HA)可与角膜上皮细胞结合,通过单克隆抗体OS/37在细胞上鉴定出类CD44分子。此外,单克隆抗体可显著抑制FA-HA与细胞的结合。这些结果表明,Na-HA与FN相关的类CD44分子结合,进而促进角膜上皮细胞的生长。
