摘要
目的 探讨应用组织工程技术构建兔角膜基质层组织的可行性。方法 新西兰大白免40只,即母兔及其亲生子兔共20对。分离获取新生子兔角膜基质细胞,扩增、培养,汇合后,接种于聚羟基乙酸(PGA),形成细胞-生物材料复合物,移植于对应的母兔角膜基质层。绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)标记角膜基质细胞,示踪角膜基质构建过程。同时,对侧角膜仅行PGA移植,作为材料对照组。8周后取材,行组织学切片,Western blot检测Ⅰ型胶原及电镜下测定胶原纤维直径分布。结果术后8周,实验侧角膜逐渐恢复透明,形成新生角膜基质样组织,胶原与角膜表面平行,排列较整齐,组织学结构接近正常基质组织。实验组Western blot检测提示新生组织中基质细胞表达Ⅰ型胶原;电镜下胶原纤维直径[(29.0±4.7)nm]与正常角膜基质组织比较[(28.5±3.5)nm],差异无显著意义(P>0.05)。对照组正常角膜无新生基质组织形成。GFP标记角膜基质细胞,示踪角膜基质第8周时,荧光显微镜下可见新生组织呈绿色,提示GFP表达。结论 应用组织工程技术可以在兔受体角膜内构建角膜基质层组织。(中华眼科杂志,2004,40:517-521)
Objective Reconstruct corneal stroma by tissue engineering. Methods Primary corneal stromal cells were isolated from newborn rabbit cornea. When the cultured cells reaching confluence, the stromal cells were mixed with polyglicolic acid (PGA) to form a cell-scaffold construct. After 1 week in vitro culture, the constructs were implanted into mother rabbit corneal stroma. Parts of corneal stromal cells were transfected with GFP gene as mark of transplanted cells. Tissues were harvested at 8 weeks for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) , histology and Western blot evaluation. In control, PGA alone was implanted into the other cornea. Results The engineered corneal stroma became transparent gradually over a period of 8 weeks. The histology of engineered stromal lamellar was relatively similar to that of natural one, no significant differences were found in the diameter of cornea collagen fiber [ ( 29. 4 ± 4. 7 ) nm ] in experimental rabbits compared with control [ (28. 5 ±3. 5) nm] , Student's t-test: P = 0. 1316 >0. 05. TEM demonstrated that collagen fibrils deposited in engineered stroma had a similar diameter compared to that of normal counterpart. In addition, Western blot showed the positive expression of type I collagen in the collagen fibrils. In contrast, no new stroma tissue was formed when PGA alone implanted. A green colored stroma was observed when engineered with GFP-labeled cells under fluorescence light microscope. Conclusion The results demonstrate that nearly transparent corneal stroma can be obtained by the technique of cornea engineering. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2004,40: 517-521)
