Simple oral mucosal epithelial transplantation in a rabbit model.

Abstract:

:This study investigated a rabbit model of autologous simple oral mucosal epithelium transplantation (SOMET) for limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). LSCD was created in the SOMET group and the Control group. In the SOMET group, oral mucosa harvested from the buccal region was treated with dispase, cut into small pieces, and placed on the exposed corneal stroma without using graft sutures, amniotic membrane, and/or glue. A soft contact lens was positioned and tarsorrhaphy was performed in both groups. Postoperative corneal neovascularization and fluorescein staining scores were evaluated by slit lamp microscopy in both groups. At 2 weeks postoperatively, eyes were excised and subjected to immunohistochemical staining for CK3, CK13, CK15, and p63. In the SOMET group, transplantation of oral mucosa led to complete recovery of LSCD, as indicated by low neovascularization scores, low fluorescein staining scores, and detection of stratified K3/K13-positive cells on the stroma at 2 weeks after surgery. In contrast, corneal epithelial defects persisted in the Control group at 2 weeks. SOMET achieved re-epithelialization of the corneal surface in this rabbit LSCD model. It is a simple technique that does not require culture and could be a promising option for ocular surface reconstruction in bilateral LSCD.

  • Transcriptional enhancement of Smn levels in motoneurons is crucial for proper axon morphology in zebrafish.

    abstract::An unresolved mystery in the field of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is why a reduction of the ubiquitously expressed Smn protein causes defects mostly in motoneurons. We addressed the possibility that this restricted vulnerability stems from elevated Smn expression in motoneurons. To explore this, we established an ex...
