PURPOSE: Pathologic conditions in the cornea, such as transplant rejection or trauma, can lead to corneal neovascularization, creating a high-risk environment that may compromise subsequent transplantation. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different types of corneal injury on hemangiogenesis (HA), lymphangiogenesis (LA) and immune cell pattern in the cornea.
METHODS: We used five different corneal injury models, namely, incision injury, alkali burn, suture placement, and low-risk keratoplasty, as well as high-risk keratoplasty and naïve corneas as control. One week after incision and 2 weeks after all other different injuries, corneal HA and LA were quantified by morphometric analysis. In addition, immune cell patterns of the whole cornea and the recipient rim were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Immune cells in the draining lymph nodes (dLNs) were quantified by flow cytometry.
RESULTS: Different types of corneal injury caused significantly different HA and LA responses (both P < 0.0001). The infiltration of corneal macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II+ cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells varied significantly in different high-risk settings (all P < 0.0001). Both the expression of MHC II on macrophages (P = 0.0005) and the frequency of MHC II+ dendritic cells (P = 0.0014) in the draining lymph nodes were significantly different across the various high-risk scenarios.
CONCLUSIONS: Murine high-risk settings caused by different underlying pathologies vary significantly in their (lymph)angiogenic and inflammatory cell patterns. Therefore, anti(lymph)angiogenic or immunomodulatory strategies to prevent and/or treat immune responses after subsequent corneal transplantation may need to be customized according to their immune-vascular "signatures."
