Characterization of Rat Meibomian Gland Ion and Fluid Transport
PURPOSE We establish novel primary rat meibomian gland (MG) cell culture systems and explore the ion transport activities of the rat MG. METHODS Freshly excised rat MG tissues were characterized as follows: (1) mRNA expression of selected epithelial ion channels/transporters were measured by RT-PCR, (2) localization of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) mRNAs was performed by in situ hybridizat...
متن کاملCulture, immortalization, and characterization of human meibomian gland epithelial cells.
PURPOSE Meibomian gland epithelial cells are essential in maintaining the health and integrity of the ocular surface. However, very little is known about their physiological regulation. In this study, the cellular control mechanisms were explored, first to establish a defined culture system for the maintenance of primary epithelial cells from human meibomian glands and, second, to immortalize t...

متن کاملMeibomian Gland Dysfunction and Hypercholesterolemia
High cholesterol is a known risk factor for ischemic heart, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease. Previous studies have postulated that hypercholesterolemia (defined as total cholesterol of at least 200 mg/dL) also plays a role in the development of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). In this observational, case-control study, Pinna et al. investigated the correlation between MGD and...
متن کاملGrowth of meibomian gland tissue after intraductal meibomian gland probing in patients with obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of meibomian gland probing (MGP) on meibomian gland (MG) area from the upper lids of patients with obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction (o-MGD). METHODS Retrospective study comparing pre-MGP/post-MGP non-contact infrared meibography results in patients with o-MGD, viewing signs of MG growth within total measurement field. RESULTS Post-MGP meibography of ...
