Abstract:
Monoclonal antibodies, specific against cell surface differentiation antigens of human corneal epithelial cells, were developed using epithelial cells resected from human corneas as the immunogens. One of these antibodies reacted specifically with corneal epithelial cells and not with epithelial cells of other tissues when tested by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Nonidet P-40 extracts of different subcellular fractions of human corneal epithelial cells were tested for their reactivity against this antibody using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results indicated that the anti

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa can invade corneal epithelial cells and translocates multilayered corneal epithelia in vitro, but it does not penetrate the intact corneal epithelium in vivo. In healthy corneas, the epithelium is separated from the underlying stroma by a basement membrane containing extracellular matrix proteins and pores smaller than bacteria. Here we used in vivo and in vitro models to investigate the potential of the basement membrane to defend against P. aeruginosa. Transmission electron microscopy of infected mouse corneas in vivo showed penetration of the stroma by P. aer

Corneal epithelia have limited self-renewal and therefore reparative capacity. They are continuously replaced by transient amplifying cells which spawn from stem cells and migrate from the periphery.

Recent evidence shows that epithelial stem/progenitor cells in barrier tissues such as the skin, airways and intestines retain a memory of previous injuries, which enables tissues to accelerate barrier restoration after subsequent injuries. The corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the cornea, is the frontline barrier for the eye and is maintained by epithelial stem/progenitor cells in the limbus. Herein, we provide evidence that inflammatory memory also exists in the cornea. In mice, eyes that had been exposed to corneal epithelial injury exhibited faster re-epithelialization of the corn

Abstract:
Epithelial cells adhere to each other and are connected via a series of junctions. Tight junctions (TJs) are a specific type of junction consisting of heteromeric protein complexes that are linked to the actin cytoskeleton and are important in regulating paracellular permeability and cell polarity. RhoGTPases are small molecular switch proteins that are important regulators of the cytoskeleton and modulators of gene expression. RhoGTPases have thus been identified as being major signalling components associated with TJs. However little is known about how RhoGTPases are regulated to control jun
