| Abstract | PURPOSE: To characterize the effects of Descemet's stripping, Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor Y-27632, and donor age on endothelial migration in human corneas maintained in ex vivo culture. METHODS: Twenty-eight cadaveric human corneas underwent ex vivo culture in either standard or Y-27632-supplemented culture medium for 14 days. The posterior surface of each cornea was manipulated to create two types of wounds: scratched wound--corneal endothelial cells (CECs) were denuded from the Descemet's membrane (DM) to leave behind a bare but intact DM; and peeled wound--both the DM and overlying CECs were stripped to leave behind bare corneal stroma. Endothelial migration was assessed via Trypan blue staining. Morphologic traits of CECs were assessed via Alizarin red microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: The CECs migrated preferentially over scratched wounds compared with peeled wounds. Y-27632 supplementation accelerated endothelial migration over scratched wounds. Endothelial migration decreased with advanced donor age for both wound types, regardless of exposure to Y-27632. Y-27632 supplementation resulted in a less rapid decline in endothelial migration for donors older than 50 years of age for scratched surfaces. Greater cell density and hexagonality was observed over scratched wounds compared with peeled wounds, regardless of Y-27632 supplementation. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of an intact DM, Y-27632 supplementation, and young donor age are factors that promote endothelial migration in an ex vivo human cornea culture model. The negative effect of age on endothelial migration can be mitigated by the presence of an intact DM and Y-27632 supplementation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
