[Problem] To provide a method for producing human corneal epithelial sheet, wherein the human corneal epithelial-derived cells obtained by culturing human corneal epithelial cells are cultured on an amnion substrate.[Solution] A method for culturing human corneal epithelial cells using mesenchymal stem cells as the feeder cells; and a method for culturing human corneal epithelial cells using a medium containing a ROCK inhibitor, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, a MAP kinase inhibitor and a TGF-β receptor inhibitor in various combinations.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a differentiation marker and a differentiation controlling technique for an eye cell. More particularly, the present invention has attained an object of providing a differentiation marker for an eye cell among the aforementioned problems, by providing a marker for identifying a cell having a high proliferation ability among corneal endothelial cells and/or the differentiation ability of a corneal endothelial cell, the marker comprising GPR49/LGR5, as well as a detection agent or detection method for identifying a cell having a high proliferation ability among corneal endothelial cells and/or the differentiation ability of a corneal endothelial cell, comprising a substance binding to GPR49/LGR5. In addition, the present invention has attained an object of providing a differentiation controlling technique for an eye cell, by providing an agent for suppressing differentiation and/or promoting proliferation of an eye cell, comprising R-spondins.
摘要:
The present invention provides a technique for treating the cornea. More specifically, the present invention is an agent for the treatment or prevention of a state of corneal endothelial disease, the agent including at least one factor selected from the group consisting of laminin and fragments thereof, wherein the problem is solved by also providing a technique characterized in that this agent is administered together with corneal endothelial cells. Specifically, the present invention can include laminin 511 (α5β1γ1), laminin 521 (α5β2γ1), or a fragment of these.
摘要:
The present invention provides a treatment drug or prophylactic drug for diseases, disorders, or conditions related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Specifically, the present invention provides a treatment drug or prophylactic drug for diseases, disorders, or conditions related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the corneal epithelium, the drug containing a TGFβ-signal inhibitor. As a preferred TGFβ-signal inhibitor, the drug contains 4-[4-(1,3-benzodioxole-5-yl)-5-(2-pyridinyl)-1H-imidazole-2-yl]benzamide.
摘要:
The present invention provides an agent for treating or preventing a disease, a disorder or a condition of a corneal endothelium, said agent comprising a corneal endothelial cell and a myosin II-specific inhibitor. More specifically, the myosin II-specific inhibitor is blebbistatin. The disease, the disorder or the condition is typically a disorder associated with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy or corneal endothelial dysfunction (bullous keratopathy). Also provided is a method for treating or preventing a corneal endothelial disease, said method comprising a step of administering an effective amount of a myosin II-specific inhibitor together with a corneal endothelial cell to a subject.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for the normalized culturing of corneal endothelial cells. More specifically, the present invention provides a culture-normalizing-agent of a corneal endothelial cell, comprising a fibrosis inhibitor. In detail, the present invention provides a culture-normalizing agent comprising a transforming growth factor (TGF) β signal inhibitor. The present invention also provides a culture medium for culturing a corneal endothelial cell normally, which comprises the culture-normalizing agent according to the present invention and corneal endothelium culture components. The present invention also provides a method for culturing a corneal endothelial cell normally, comprising the step of culturing a corneal endothelial cell using the culture-normalizing agent according to the present invention or the culture medium according to the present invention.
