Effect of Keratocyte Supernatant on Epithelial Cell Migration and Proliferation After Corneal Crosslinking (CXL).
To evaluate the effect of keratocyte supernatant (harvesting time, riboflavin concentration and UV-A-light illumination) on migration and proliferation of human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) by CXL, in vitro. ⋯ Harvesting time, riboflavin concentration and UV-A-light illumination of normal and keratoconus keratocyte cultures has no impact on proliferation of HCECs, in the short term. However, 24 hours harvesting time (both for normal and keratoconus keratocytes) increases and UVA-light-illumination of keratoconus keratocyte cultures decreases HCEC migration.
