Abstract:
Background Ostrich acellular corneal stroma possesses a similar constitution to human corneal stroma,so it is expected to become one of ideal biological corneal carriers.Objective This study was to investigate the immunogenicity of acellular stroma carrier of ostrich cornea and offer the information for the development of industrialization and clinical use of acellular stroma carrier of ostrich cornea.Methods Twenty fresh ostrich eyeballs and 20 porcine eyeballs were collected.Acellular corneal stroma carriers of ostriches and pigs were prepared using low temperature freezing joint enzyme digestion method and desiccant dehydration method and sterilized by cobalt-60 irradiation.The corneal stroma carriers were preserved using drying and dehydration method.Forty-five male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group,ostrich acellular corneal stroma group and porcine acellular corneal stroma group.Acellular corneal stroma carriers of ostriches and pigs(wet weight after rewatering was 10 mg/piece) were subcutaneously implanted to the back of BALB/c mice,respectively.Wound healing and inflammatory response on the operative site were observed,and phenotype and activating rate of CD4+,CD8+ and CD25+in peripheral blood of mice were dynamically detected 7,14 and 28 days after ectopically implantation of heterogeneous corneal stroma by immunofluorescence labeling and flow cytometry analysis.Results No swelling and exudation were seen in the skin of operative site of the mice with a good healing of wound after surgery.There were no significant differences in the activating rates of CD4+,CD8+ and CD25+ cells in the peripheral blood of mice among the sham operation group,the porcine acellular corneal stroma group and ostrich acellular corneal stroma group in the three time points after surgery(CD4+:F=0.74,P=0.50;F=0.39,P=0.05;F=3.46,P=0.58.CD8+:F=1.75,P=0.21 ;F=1.14,P=0.35;F=0.78,P=0.48.CD25+:F=0.52,P=0.61 ;F=3.53,P=0.62;F=2.42,P=0.13).Conclusions The ostrich acellular heterogeneous corneal stroma carrier possesses low immunogenicity.It is inferred that ostrich acellular corneal stroma carrier can be used in heterogeneous corneal transplantation.
