“…Many Kpro devices have been developed over the past decades, including AlphaCor, 2,3 Boston Keratoprosthesis (Boston Kpro), 4 osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis (OOKP), 5 and the Moscow Eye Microsurgery Complex in Russia (MICOF) keratoprosthesis. 6,7 The Boston Kpro and OOKP, the most commonly used Kpros, have been used to treat patients with multiple graft failures, aniridia, chemical injuries, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, and thermal burns as well as other conditions with high risk of corneal graft rejection and failure. 8 The differentiation in use of the two most commonly used Kpros is in the condition of the ocular surface before treatment.…”

PURPOSE. Synthetic keratoprostheses are required for visual rehabilitation in patients with endstage corneal blindness. This study aimed to assess the biocompatibility of graphene material and its potential as a novel synthetic keratoprosthesis skirt material for corneal tissue engineering. METHODS.Human corneal stromal fibroblasts were cultured on material surfaces including pristine graphene film, graphene foam, pristine titanium (Ti) discs, and tissue culture plastic surface (TCPS). Cell attachment was assayed by immunostaining of paxillin and vinculin. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and Click iT 5-ethynyl-2 0 -deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. The growth of fibroblasts on three-dimensional graphene foam was examined by scanning electron microscopy, and cytokine release was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Graphene films were implanted into rabbit corneal stromal pockets and examined by slit-lamp biomicroscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography, in vivo confocal microscopy, and histology.RESULTS. Pristine graphene demonstrated good biocompatibility with human stromal fibroblasts in terms of cell adhesion, viability, and proliferation. Cells on graphene films showed higher number than on TCPS control. Cells grown on graphene had 10% more proliferation than on Ti. The expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were reduced when cells were seeded on graphene foam as compared to Ti and graphene film. Implantation of graphene film into rabbit stroma (n ¼ 6) did not show any signs of infection, neovascularization, or inflammation.CONCLUSIONS. Graphene displayed excellent short-term biocompatibility with corneal cells and tissue. This demonstrates that graphene can be developed as a tissue engineering material for use in cornea.

Dual functionalization of titanium with vascular endothelial growth factor and β‐defensin analog for potential application in keratoprosthesis

Functionalization of material surfaces can improve their biointegration and bactericidal effect. To expand the biomedical applications of titanium in artificial cornea implantation surgery, titanium alloy substrates were coated with polydopamine and dual bound with recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and anti‐microbial peptide (AMP), SESB2V. Successful chemical binding was assessed with attenuated total reflectance‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Coating thickness was assessed by atomic force microscopy. Cellular studies revealed that the functionalized substrates displayed the abilities to enhance primary human corneal fibroblast adhesion, proliferation, and viability. Angiogenesis assay with human mesenchymal stem cells was used to verify the biological functions of immobilized VEGF while bactericidal assay was evaluated for the anti‐microbial activities of immobilized SESB2V peptide. We found that the titanium surface that was sequentially functionalized with VEGF and SESB2V had enhanced fibroblast proliferation and anti‐microbial properties. The incorporation of such peptides into an artificial cornea implant is important for implant‐tissue integration and wound healing. This may improve implant integration and reduce the risk of device infection following artificial cornea implantation. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part B: Appl Biomater, 2012.
