Abstract
DNA fragmentation in lens fibre cell nuclei undergoing programmed degeneration was identified by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated biotin-dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL). Lens epithelial cells in culture were induced to differentiate into lens fibre-like clumps of cells (lentoids) by insulin and it was shown that the TUNEL method was also an effective means of labelling degenerating nuclei in lentoid cells in lens epithelial cell cultures. Using immuno-fluorescence and confocal microscopy, it was shown that TNFalpha and TNF receptor (TNFR1, and TNFR2) immunoreactivity was present in sections of chick embryo lenses. TNFalpha immunoreactivity was associated with the lens epithelium and lens fibres. TNFR1 immunoreactivity was present in lens epithelial cells, cortical lens fibres, and lens fibre cell nuclei, while TNFR2 immunoreactivity had a similar distribution to that of TNFR1, but was not associated with nuclei. Similar patterns of TNFalpha, TNFR1, and TNFR2 immunoreactivity were observed in lens epithelial cell cultures. When added to lens epithelial cell cultures, TNFalpha, at concentrations of 50 to 100 ng ml-1, and agonistic antibodies to both TNFR1 and TNFR2 significantly (P<0.05) enhanced the number of...Continue Reading
