Proliferation and differentiation of bovine corneal endothelial cells in culture. 1982

N Savion, and J D Isaacs, and M A Shuman, and D Gospodarowicz

Bovine corneal endothelial cells can be grown successfully in culture. Growth factors such as FGF and EGF are shown to have a significant role in supporting an active proliferation of bovine corneal endothelial cells in culture as well as an effect on the ability of these cultures, to adopt a morphological configuration and phenotypic expression upon reaching confluence similar to their in vivo counterparts. Cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells provide us with an excellent in vitro model to study differentiated functions of the corneal endothelium. Using these cultures, we describe in the present review the exploration of a new differentiation property of the corneal endothelium such as the role of corneal endothelial cells in the inhibition and removal of active thrombin, as well as the study of a basic problem in cell biology such as the mechanism of action of growth factors.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
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
D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
