In this article, human limbal niche cells (LNC) or bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) were used to prevent limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) in an alkali burn rabbit model and their results were compared. The epithelial cell defect area, corneal neovascularization, and the print cell cytometry were quantified to grade the severity of LSCD. Three months after the alkali burn, a partial LSCD was observed in the control group (no treatment) indicated by chronic corneal epithelial defects, positive corneal fluorescein staining, neovascularization and goblet cell migration. In contrast, the severity of LSCD in both the LNC and BMMSC transplantation groups was dramatically reduced as shown by smaller epithelial cell defects, decreased fluorescein sodium staining, decreased neovascularization and decreased goblet cell density. Interestingly, the LNC group was shown to more effectively prevent LSCD than the BMMSC group. Further analysis indicated subconjunctivally transplanted LNCs were more powerful than BMMSCs to prevent LSCD, at least partially, due to increased activation of SCF-c-Kit signal. We conclude that LNCs are a more powerful resource than BMMSCs to prevent LSCD in an alkali burn rabbit model, at least partially due to increased activation of SCF signaling.
