Ion flow from intact tissue into epithelial wound sites results in lateral electric currents that may represent a major driver of wound healing cell migration. Use of applied electric fields to promote wound healing is the basis of Medicare-approved electric stimulation therapy. This study investigated the roles for electric fields in wound re-epithelialisation, using the Pax6+/− mouse model of the human ocular surface abnormality aniridic keratopathy (in which wound healing and corneal epithelial cell migration are disrupted). Both wild-type and Pax6+/− corneal epithelial cells showed increased migration speeds in response to applied electric fields in vitro. However, only Pax6+/+ cells demonstrated directional galvanotaxis towards the cathode, with activation of pSrc signalling, polarised to the leading edges of cells. In vivo, the epithelial wound site normally represents a cathode, but 43% of Pax6+/− corneas exhibited reversed endogenous wound-induced currents (the wound was an anode). These corneas healed at the same rate as wild-type. Surprisingly, epithelial migration did not correlate with direction or magnitude of endogenous currents for wild-type or mutant corneas. Furthermore, during healing in vivo, no polarisation of pSrc was observed. We found little evidence that Src-dependent mechanisms of cell migration, observed in response to applied EFs in vitro, normally exist in vivo. It is concluded that endogenous electric fields do not drive long-term directionality of sustained healing migration in this mouse corneal epithelial model. Ion flow from wounds may nevertheless represent an important component of wound signalling initiation.
