ABSTRACT
Human corneal stromal cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion from a new source, lenticules obtained during laser vision correction by the ReLEx SMILe method. The resulting culture was mainly presented by fibroblast-like cells with a phenotype CD90-/CD73+/CD105+/keratocan-/lumican-/ALDH1A1+ that differentiate into keratocytes in a specialized medium. The concentration of fetal calf serum-derived growth factors affects the rate of proliferation, production of erythropoietin and brain neurotrophic factor by corneal fibroblasts, and to a lesser extent, their migration activity and production of extracellular matrix components. Thus, the high functional potential of fibroblast-like cells isolated from stromal lenticles can be used to develop cell technologies in ophthalmology.
