In searching for a clue to the role of actin filament bundles organized into polygonal arrays, or geodomes, in lens epithelial cells, we examined several physical events occurring in the young rabbit lens which may initiate their formation. We used N

This work reports a differential effect of ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation on the three major cytoskeletal structures, actin and vimentin filaments and microtubules of lens cells in primary culture. The effect on cells from lens of the skate (a botto

Primary cultures of rabbit and skate lens epithelia were used to investigate the effect of calcium release from intracellular stores upon the actin cytoskeleton. Primary cultures were loaded with fura-2 AM and intracellular calcium, i.e. (Ca2+)i, qua

Ultraviolet radiation in the near range (UVA) causes lens opacification and disrupts the actin cytoskeleton in rabbit and gray squirrel lenses. Changes were noted using transmission electron microscopy of tangential sections and rhodaminephalloidin f

The role of near-UV radiation as a cytoskeletal actin-damaging agent was investigated. Two procedures were used to analyse fresh smooth dogfish (Mustelus canis) eye lenses that were incubated for up to 22 hr in vitro, with elasmobranch Ringer's mediu

Since filamentous actin had been shown earlier to exist in lens epithelial and fiber cells, we inquired whether this could represent a contractile system with myosin and other actin-associated proteins. We resolved this question in freshly removed or

Although electron microscopy has been used to study human senile cataract," subcapsular cataract," and electric cataract, no previous electron microscopic study has described human traumatic cataract. Such a study is of interest not only on a purely

Using mainly fluorescence microscopy after rhodamine-phalloidin staining, the F-actin distribution in the mouse lens epithelium was studied with regard to the effects of age, genetic strain, and mechanical injury. These studies have revealed that asi

Complicated cataracts of the posterior subcapsular zone may be associated with a number os systemic conditions. Cataracts from patients with retinitis pigmentosa, Turner's syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, or those who were taking corticosteroids were ex
