| Abstract | PURPOSE: Corneal fibroblast cell (CFC) reticulation is involved in the structural development of corneal stroma and in wound healing. In an earlier paper, it was reported that the expression of VEGFR-1 by CFCs is related to their reticulogenic properties in vitro and decreases with the age of the donors. The present study was focused on the nonreticulogenic corneal fibroblast population and explored whether these cells can be induced to form cell networks in vitro. METHODS: The network formation was analyzed using an array of signaling pathway inhibitors: wortmannin for PI3 kinase, U0126 for MEK-1/2 kinase, Rottlerin for PKC, farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI-277) for Ras, and picropodophyllin (PPP) for IGFR-1. Among the several growth factors studied, IGF seemed to be crucial to cell network formation. The presence of IGF signaling was demonstrated using gene array analysis and was confirmed by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry and by cell network formation on reduced synthetic basement membrane arrays. The pleiotropic effect of IGF-1 on the cells was analyzed by protein cytokine array. RESULTS: The genesis of reticulation was found to occur via MEK-1/2 and IGFR pathways, since inhibitors of these signaling pathways reduced or prevented cell network formation. The addition of exogenous IGF-1 generated a cell network structure in corneal fibroblasts obtained from healthy donors, indicating the involvement of IGF-1. CONCLUSIONS: IGF signaling and the MEK-1/2 pathway are involved in the cell network formation of corneal fibroblast cells from aged donors. |

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.
