Abstract

To investigate the biocompatibility of fish scale-derived scaffolds (FSS) with primary human corneal endothelial cells (HCEnCs). HCEnCs were isolated from 30 donor corneas in a donor-matched study and plated in precoated Lab-Tek slides (n = 15) and FSS (n = 15). Cell morphology, proliferation/migration, and glucose uptake were studied (n = 30). Hoechst, ethidium homodimer, and calcein AM (HEC) staining was performed to determine viability and toxicity (n = 6). The cell surface area was calculated based on calcein AM staining. HCEnCs were stained for ZO-1 (n = 6) to detect tight junctions and to measure cell morphology; Ki-67 (n = 6) to measure proliferating cells; and vinculin to quantify focal adhesions (n = 6). The formation of de novo extracellular matrix was analyzed using histology (n = 6). HCEnCs attach and grow faster on Lab-Tek slides compared to the undulating topography of the FSS. At day 11, HCEnCs on Lab-Tek slide grew 100% confluent, while FSS was only 65% confluent (p = 0.0883), with no significant difference in glucose uptake between the two (p = 0.5181) (2.2 μg/mL in Lab-Tek versus 2.05 μg/mL in FSS). HEC staining showed no toxicity. The surface area of the cells in Lab-Tek was 409.1 μm2 compared to 452.2 μm2 on...Continue Reading

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.
