The Study on Culture and Ultrastructure of Glaucomatous Trabecular Cells in Vitro

摘要

Purpose : To establish the culture system of human glaucomatous trabecular cells in vitro and study their ultrastructures.Methods : The trabecular specimens from trabeculectomy were cultured in vitro and passaged 3 times, then identified. Moreover, the glaucomatous cells were observed with electron microscope while compared with the normal ones.Result: Cultured human glaucomatous trabecular cells were obtained. The ultrastructure of the cells showed the decrease in vilious project, coated vesicle and lysosomal inclusion. Conclusion : The establishment of human glaucomatous trabecular cells culture in vitro made the culture system more perfect. The morphologic changes might be related to the abnormal functions of human trabecular meshwork cells. Eye Science 1998; 14 : 134 - 737.
