Human corneal endothelial cells are a non-prolif-erative cell type. As a result of the increase in corneal endothelium disease, increasing numbers of studies have been conducted in order to promote corneal endothelial cell proliferation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the proliferative effects of Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor, Y-27632, on rabbit corneal endothelial cells (rCECs). Y-27632 (1, 10 or 30 mu M) was added at two different time points to two groups of rCECs. The first group received Y-27632 when rCECs were initially plated, and the second following 72 h of cell growth. Cell morphology and cell adhesion ratios were subsequently observed using light microscopy. A cell counting kit was used to measure the number of viable cells that adhered to culture plates. Cell cycle transitions and levels of Annexin V-positive apoptotic cells were detected using flow cytometry. Cells treated with 1 mu M Y-27632 and 10 mu M Y-27632 retained their cell shape. At a concentration of 30 mu M Y-27632, the cell shape became irregular. Cell adhesion ratios, in 1 mu M Y-27632 (36.84%), 10 mu M Y-27632 (84.21%) and 30 mu M Y-27632 (84.21%) were higher than the adhesion ratio in the control group (P
