Abstract

In response to an unexpected observation of apparent localisation by immunocytochemistry, we have investigated the potential expression and function of P-selectin (CD62P) in human corneal epithelial cells. The SV40 immortalised cell line, HCE-T (validated by STR profiling), along with multiple donor corneal-limbal tissue samples, were examined for P-selectin expression using a combination of immunocytochemistry, Western blotting, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Potential expression of the major ligand for P-selectin (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1; PSGL-1; CD162) was also examined by immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR. A selective inhibitor of P-selectin-PSGL-1 binding (KF38789) was subsequently tested for effects on HCE-T cells using a cell culture gap-closure assay. HCE-T cells as well as primary epithelial cultures derived from donor corneal-limbal tissue, displayed positive immunostaining for P-selectin. Staining was particularly evident at cell-cell boundaries and at the outer edge of expanding epithelial islands. P-selectin expression was confirmed by Western blotting and RT-PCR (validated by product sequencing), as well as by immunohistochemistry performed on serial sections of corneal-limbal tissue stained for P-selectin...Continue Reading

CZI Human Cell Atlas Seed Network

The aim of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) is to build reference maps of all human cells in order to enhance our understanding of health and disease. The Seed Networks for the HCA project aims to bring together collaborators with different areas of expertise in order to facilitate the development of the HCA.
