Correlation of corneal endothelial pump site density, barrier function, and morphology in wound repair. 1985

R W Yee, and D H Geroski, and M Matsuda, and E J Champeau, and L A Meyer, and H F Edelhauser

After transcorneal freezing, physiologic function (pump and barrier) of the regenerating rabbit corneal endothelium was evaluated and compared with the morphologic differentiation that occurs during wound healing. Endothelial pump function was investigated utilizing the specific binding of tritiated ouabain to endothelial Na+/K+ ATPase (pump sites); the permeabilities of isolated de-epithelialized corneas to labeled inulin and dextran were measured to determine endothelial barrier function. Endothelial recovery after transcorneal freezing can be described as a three-stage process. Stage one is characterized by the establishment of an initial coverage of the wound by pleomorphic spindle-shaped cells which form a functional but incomplete barrier and minimal pump site density. In stage two, the cells assume a flattened configuration consisting of irregular polygons and establish nearly normal pump capacity. In stage three, a significant remodeling of the monolayer continues despite the layer's early physiologic recovery.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Corneas
D004727 Endothelium A layer of epithelium that lines the heart, blood vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, VASCULAR), lymph vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, LYMPHATIC), and the serous cavities of the body. Endotheliums
D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.
