Glaucomatous cell derived matrices differentially modulate non-glaucomatous trabecular meshwork cellular behavior

Abstract: Extracellular matrix (ECM) changes are prevalent in a number of diseases. The precise mechanisms by which changes in the ECM contribute to disease progression is unclear, primarily due to absence of appropriate models. Here, using glaucoma as a disease model, we document changes in cell derived matrix (CDM) and tissue mechanics that contribute to the pathology. Subsequently, we determine the effect that ECMs from diseased and healthy individuals have on healthy cell behaviors. Data emanating from this study de… Show more

“…Importantly, dECM bioinks may be used as allogeneic or even xenogenic materials in tissue engineering applications, since their production and decellularization processes involve harsh enzymatic and detergent treatments, aimed at removing immunogenic residual deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or cell membrane antigen fragments. Previous research has also pointed out how ECM composition varies between degenerative and homeostatic processes, thus opening interesting avenues for using dECM bioinks from nonhealthy organs to create in vitro models to study tissue pathophysiology. The exact composition of ECMā€derived materials, particularly that of less abundant compounds, is not fully defined, although proteomic techniques can aid elucidating part of these components .…”

“…The rigidity of the ECM, which is altered in POAG patients [35] and in glaucomatous cell cultures [117], is likely to affect the structure and activity of fibronectin fibrils. The type III repeats in fibronectin lack intrachain disulfide bonds which enables cell contraction to stretch these repeats and to expose cryptic sites with unique biological activities.…”
