PURPOSE: Corneal neovascularization (NV) is a sight-threatening condition often
associated with infection, inflammation, prolonged contact lens use, corneal
burns, and acute corneal graft rejection. Macrophages recruited to the cornea
release nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O2(-)), which react together to
form the highly toxic molecule peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)). The role of ONOO(-) in
upregulating multiple angiogenic factors in cultured human corneal limbal
epithelial (HCLE) cells was investigated. METHODS: Human corneal limbal
epithelial cells were incubated with 500 ?M of ONOO(-) donor for various times.
VEGF-A, BFGF, and hypoxic-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-1?) were investigated via
Western blot and RT-PCR was performed for VEGF. Functional assays using human
umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) used conditioned media from
ONOO(-)-exposed HCLE cells. Secreted VEGF from conditioned media was detected and
analyzed using ELISA. RESULTS: Increased angiogenic factors were observed as
early as 4 hours after HCLE exposure to ONOO(-). HIF-1 expression was seen at 4,
6, and 8 hours post-ONOO(-) exposure (P < 0.05). BFGF expression was elevated at
4 hours and peaked at 8 hours after treatment with ONOO(-) (P < 0.005). Increased
VEGF-A gene expression was observed at 6 and 8 hours post-ONOO(-) treatment.
Functional assays using conditioned media showed increased HUVEC migration and
tube formation. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to elevated extracellular concentrations of
ONOO(-) results in upregulation of angiogenic factors in HCLE cells. It is
possible that, in the setting of inflammation or infection, that exposure to
ONOO(-) could be one contributor to the complex initiators of corneal NV.
Validation in vivo would identify an additional potential control point for
corneal NV.
