A preliminary study was undertaken to establish whether low-dose UV irradiation (UVB) affects calcium cell signaling in rabbit lens epithelia. In a suspension of lens epithelial cells (line NN1003A), changes in intracellular Ca2+ were measured by Fur

Selenite (Se) cataract in rabbit lenses was investigated in vitro to define target sites of Se that might be involved in calcium elevation and lens opacification. Experiments in which the anterior or the posterior surface of the lens was exposed to S

Biosynthesis of lens proteins, as assessed by the incorporation of 14C-histidine, was investigated in young rabbit lenses cultured under conditions designed to specifically elevate lens calcium. While such lenses rarely were obtained without small de

Results were obtained which demonstrate that calcium accumulation in the rabbit lens may suppress glycolysis, not only by its inhibitory effect on cation transport but by its direct effect on glycolytic enzymes. In lenses cultured in calcium-enriched

The present study was designed to examine the possible role of calcium in the opacification of x-ray-induced cataract in rabbit. The results demonstrate that the concentration of calcium in x-rayed lenses, just prior to lens hydration (7.5 weeks post

Selenium toxicity was investigated in cultured rabbit lenses to provide further information about the role of Ca++ in Se cataract. At a dose of 0.1 mM for 20 hr, Se induces a 10% change in Na levels within 6 hr, a 30% increase after 20 hr, and a thre

Calcium-sensitive microelectrodes have been employed to determine that the free, intracellular concentration of calcium in the lens is approximately 30 microM. Additionally, active extrusion of intracellular calcium has been demonstrated.

The purpose of this experiment was to assess the roles of free, intracellular calcium and calcium-dependent neutral protease (calpain II, EC.34.22.17) in selenite nuclear cataract. Free calcium ion concentrations within lens nuclear fibers during sel

Parallel studies of the ionic balance and membrane permeability characteristics of normal human lenses were carried out in three countries (USA, England and Italy). Similar age-related changes were found in each laboratory. The lens membrane potentia

Evidence based on the following three observations suggests the existence of a calcium transport system in the mammalian lens: calcium levels in the lens are lower than that measured in the aqueous humor; calcium efflux is temperature-dependent and i
