METHODS： Rat CECs, corneal stromal cells （CSCs）, bone marrow -derived endothelial progenitor cells （BEPCs）, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） were isolated and cultured in vitra CM was collected from CSCs, BEPCs, and BMSCSo CECs were cultivated in different culture media. Cell morphology was recorded, and gene and protein expression were analyzed.~ RESULTS： After grown in CM for 5d, CECs in each experimental group remained polygonal, in a cobblestone- like monolayer arrangement. Immunocytofluorescence revealed positive expression of Na＋/K＋-ATP, aquaporin 1 （AQP1）, and zonula occludens 1 （ZO-1）. Based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction （qPCR） analysis, Na ＋/K ＋-ATP expression in CSC-CM was notably upregulated by 1.3-fold （＋0.036） （P〈0.05, n=3）. The expression levels of ZO-1, neuron specific enolase （NSE）, Vimentin, paired homebox 6 （PAX6）, and procollagen type VII （COL8A1） were notably upregulated in each experimental group. Each CM had a positive effect on CEC proliferation, and CSC-CM had the strongest effect on proliferation.~ CONCLUSION： CSC-CM, BEPC-CM, and BMSC-CM not only stimulated the proliferation of CECs, but also maintained the characteristic differentiated phenotypes necessary for endothelial functions. CSC-CM had the most notable effect on CEC proliferation.

METHODS: Primary culture was initiated with a pure population of HCS cells in DMEM/F12 media (pH 7.2) containing 20% fetal bovine serum and various necessary growth factors. The established cell line was characterized by growth property, chromosome analysis, tumorigenicity assay, expression of marker proteins and functional proteins. Furthermore, the biocompatibility of HCS cells with aPCS was examined through histological and immunocytochemistry analyses and with light, electron microscopies. RESULTS: HCS cells proliferated to confluence 2 weeks later in primary culture and have been subcultured to passage 140 so far. A continuous untransfected HCS cell line with a population doubling time of 41.44 hours at passage 80 has been determined. Results of chromosome analysis, morphology, combined with the results of expression of marker protein and functional proteins suggested that the cells retained HCS cell properties. Furthermore, HCS cells have no tumorigenicity, and with excellent biocompatibility to aPCS. CONCLUSION: An untransfected and non-tumorigenic HCS cell line has been established, and the cells maintained positive expression of marker proteins and functional proteins. The cell line, with excellent biocompatibility to aPCS, might be used for in vitroreconstruction of tissue-engineered HCS.展开更多
