ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the use of hepatocyte and keratinocyte growth factors for controlling the proliferation and motility of corneal cells in vivo and in vitro. It also relates to the use of these factors for maintaining the viability of the corneal cells during or after ocular surgery and during corneal preservation in storage medium prior to transplant. Polymerase chain reaction amplification has demonstrated that corneal epithelial and endothelial cells in vitro and ex vivo corneal epithelium produce messenger RNA coding for hepatocyte growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor receptor, keratinocyte growth factor, and keratinocyte growth factor receptor. Additionally, it was demonstrated that hepatocyte growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor stimulate the proliferation of corneal epithelial cells and corneal endothelial cells in vitro in a dose response manner.
