Collagen types in keratoconus. 1982

T M Radda, and E J Menzel, and H Freyler, and H D Gnad

Collagen types in normal human and keratoconus corneas were separated by salt fractionation and thermal gelation in the pepsin-soluble fraction of the lyophilized tissues. Peptic digestion indicated no significant differences between normal and keratoconus corneas. Further collagen characterization was performed using SDS-PAGE. Collagen concentration were determined via hydroxyproline. Soluble collagens from normal human cornea represent 85% collagen type I, maximally 10% collagen type III and 5% collagen type V. Soluble collagens of keratoconus corneas consist of 90% type I collagen and maximally 5% type II and type V collagen.

D007640 Keratoconus A noninflammatory, usually bilateral protrusion and thinning of the CORNEA, the apex being displaced downward and nasally. It occurs most commonly in females at about puberty. Two closely related noninflammatory corneal ectasias are pellucid marginal degeneration and keratoglobus.

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.
