BACKGROUND We evaluated ultrastructurally the presence and distribution of lens epithelial cells and extracellular matrix on the posterior capsule after implantation of a silicone or a polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lens (IOL) in rabbits. The immunolocalization of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, an enzyme involved in procollagen synthesis, was also examined in such cells. METHODS Anesthetized adult albino rabbits (n = 12) underwent phacoemulsification and aspiration (PEA) of the crystalline lens and implantation of a silicone or a PMMA IOL into the capsular bag of one eye. They were killed by an intravenous overdose of pentobarbital sodium. The lens capsules were processed for transmission electron microscopy and for immunohistochemical detection of the beta-subunit of prolyl 4-hydroxylase. RESULTS Ultrastructurally, lens epithelial cells on the posterior capsule evidenced an accumulation of collagenous extracellular matrix. Prolyl 4-hydroxylase immunoreactivity was detected in the cytoplasm of cells distributed on the capsules. CONCLUSIONS Lens epithelial cells are involved in the production of collagenous matrix on lens capsules after PEA and implantation of IOL, resulting in a fibrotic process of the lens capsule.

D007908 Lens, Crystalline A transparent, biconvex structure of the EYE, enclosed in a capsule and situated behind the IRIS and in front of the vitreous humor (VITREOUS BODY). It is slightly overlapped at its margin by the ciliary processes. Adaptation by the CILIARY BODY is crucial for OCULAR ACCOMMODATION. Eye Lens,Lens, Eye,Crystalline Lens

D011393 Procollagen-Proline Dioxygenase A mixed-function oxygenase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of a prolyl-glycyl containing peptide, usually in PROTOCOLLAGEN, to a hydroxyprolylglycyl-containing-peptide. The enzyme utilizes molecular OXYGEN with a concomitant oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate to SUCCINATE. The enzyme occurs as a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits. The beta subunit of procollagen-proline dioxygenase is identical to the enzyme PROTEIN DISULFIDE-ISOMERASES.
