The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize interactions of corneal endothelial cells with the underlying posterior stroma. Corneal endothelial - stromal interactions were defined in developing postnatal day 3 (P3) and maturing and postnatal day 30 (P30) C57BL/6 mice as well as in adult human corneas. Flat mounts and cross sections were studied using immunofluorescence microscopy from and postnatal day 30 (P30). F-actin was localized using phalloidin to evaluate cell processes traversing Descemet’s membrane (DM). Dynamic cell - cell communication was evaluated by analyzing the pattern of fluorescence recovery using calcein AM dye transfer after selective photo-bleaching. Endothelial - stromal interactions, seen along Descemet’s membrane (DM) during development (P3), were only found in the periphery of the mature murine cornea (P30). In mature human corneas, cellular extensions through the DM were noted in the peripheral cornea. The pattern of fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching in both mature mice and human central corneas demonstrated endothelial - endothelial cell communication. In contrast, in the human cornea 2 distinct patterns were observed consistent with endothelial - endothelial as well as stromal - endothelial communication. Endothelial - stromal interactions are present in the entire cornea during early postnatal life. Endothelial-stromal interactions localize to the periphery of the cornea in the adult. The existence of direct endothelial – posterior stromal contact contradicts the conception that corneal endothelial cells are isolated from the stroma by the DM and implies that endothelial - stromal comunication can influence corneal structure and function.
