- W4384276697 abstract "The corneal stroma is primarily composed of collagen fibrils, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). It is known that corneal crosslinking (CXL) treatment improves mechanical properties of the cornea. However, the influence of stromal composition on the strengthening effect of CXL procedure has not been thoroughly investigated. The primary objective of the present research was to characterize the effect of keratan sulfate (KS) GAGs on the efficacy of the CXL therapy. To this end, the CXL method was used to crosslink porcine corneal samples from which KS GAGs were enzymatically removed by keratanase II enzyme. Alcian blue staining was done to confirm the successful digestion of GAGs and uniaxial tensile experiments were performed for characterizing corneal mechanical properties. The influence of GAG removal and CXL treatment on resistance of corneal samples against enzymatic pepsin degradation was also quantified. It was found that removal of KS GAGs significantly softened corneal tensile properties (P < 0.05). Moreover, the CXL therapy significantly increased the tensile stiffness of GAG-depleted strips (P < 0.05). GAG-depleted corneal buttons were dissolved in the pepsin digestion solution significantly faster than control samples (P < 0.05). The CXL treatment significantly increased the time needed for complete pepsin digestion of GAG-depleted disks (P < 0.05). Based on these observations, we concluded that KS GAGs play a significant role in defining tensile properties and structural integrity of porcine cornea. Furthermore, the stiffening influence of the CXL treatment does not significantly depend on the density of corneal KS GAGs. The findings of the present study provided new information on the relation between corneal composition and CXL procedure mechanical effects." @default.
