INTRODUCTION  Ocular surface damage caused by infections, chemical burns, trauma, and various autoimmune diseases could lead to corneal limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD).  Depletion of limbal stem cell causes corneal neovascularization, scarring, chronic inflammation, and loss of vision.  Current treatments for this condition involve transplanting cornea from cadaver donor or transplanting limbal stem cells from the contralateral eye. These transplants subject the patients to lifelong immunosuppression (if allogeneic) and could risk causing LSCD in the donor eye (if autologous).  In this study we investigated the use of ex vivo cultivated stem cells from autologous tissue such as the oral mucosa and the limbus as a potential source of epithelium for corneal transplantation. We evaluated the use of different types of feeder layers of human origin to support stem cell growth, which would eliminate the risks associated with using xenogeneic mouse 3T3 feeder cells that are currently used for propagation stem cells.

 Oral and limbal epithelial cells were isolated by microdissection followed by digestion with dispase and trypsin/EDTA  The cells were seeded on amniotic membrane and co-cultured for three weeks with; - human dermal fibroblast - human bone marrow fibroblast - mouse 3T3 fibroblast feeder layers, and - no feeder layer  The cultivated cells were examined by immunohistochemistry for differentiated (CK3) and putative stem cell markers (Iβ1)  These epithelial cells were then examined for their colony forming efficiency (CFE)  Relative transcripts levels of putative stem cell markers; ABCG2 and p63 were accessed by quantitative RT-PCR.  All the results were compared to similar examination of cells co-cultured with mouse 3T3 fibroblasts.

 Stratified epithelial sheets of oral and limbal epithelium expressing putative stem cell and corneal epithelial markers were successfully cultured on amniotic membrane with human-derived feeder layers.  Dermal fibroblast feeder seemed to preserve stem cell like phenotype of epithelial cells, which was comparable to cells grown on 3T3 feeder layer.  Human dermal fibroblast feeder layer may be used as a substitute for the cultivation of transplantable epithelial, as minimizing the use of animal-derived products may make these cell sheets suitable for human transplantation.
