Abstract

Impaired healing of corneal injuries can result in ulceration and complete loss of vision, especially in the elderly. Such patients frequently also exhibit vitamin D insufficiency. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is the active vitamin D metabolite. As it affects cell proliferation and inflammation, we herein aimed at elucidating its influence on corneal wound healing after alkali burn by using in vitro and ex vivo techniques. mRNA abundance in human corneal epithelial cells in response to vitamin D3 was determined by RT-PCR. Corneal re-epithelialization after alkaline burn was analyzed using enucleated mouse eyes and fluorescein staining. Human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) expressed the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and retinoid x receptor (RXR) and were responsive to 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3, as shown by induction of the 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 responsive gene cyp-24A1 and slightly reduced abundance of IL-6 mRNA. However, no effect on cell vitality and migration was observed. In contrast, re-epithelialization of mouse corneas ex vivo was dose dependently inhibited by 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3. These data indicate that topically applied 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 does not seem to be suitable for therapy of corneal lesions.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
