ObjectiveTo reconstruct corneal stroma with cultured cells and trace the cultured cells by Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) gene transfection.MethodsCorneal stromal cells were isolated from newborn rabbit cornea and were cultured and expanded in vitro. At the time of reaching confluency, corneal stromal cells were mixed with Polyglicolic Acid (PGA) to form a cell scaffold construct. At 1 week after culture, the constructs were implanted into mother rabbit corneal stroma and portions of corneal stromal cells were transfected with GFP gene to mark the seed cells by retroviral vector. Tissues were harvested at 8 weeks for histologic evaluation.ResultsThe engineered tissue proceeded to become transparent over an 8 week period. Stroma engineered in cornea revealed the histology of lamellar relatively similar to that of natural stroma. Additionally, a green colored stroma was observed when engineered with GFP labeled cells under fluorescence light microscope, suggesting that the stroma was constituted by implanted cells. ConclusionsThe results demonstrate that stroma could be engineered in recipient cornea and the composed cells originate from cultured cells.
