Abstrakt: Introduction: Amniotic membrane (AM) is a popular treatment for external ocular diseases. First intraocular implantations in other diseases reported promising results. Here, we review three cases of intravitreal epiretinal human AM (iehAM) transplantation as an adjunct treatment for complicated retinal detachment and analyze clinical safety. Possible cellular rejection reactions against the explanted iehAM were evaluated and its influence was assessed on three retinal cell lines in vitro.
Methods: Three patients with complicated retinal detachment and implanted iehAM during pars plana vitrectomy are retrospectively presented. After removal of the iehAM at subsequent surgery, tissue-specific cellular responses were studied by light microscopy and immunohistochemical staining. We investigated the influence of AM in vitro on retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19), Müller cells (Mio-M1), and differentiated retinal neuroblasts (661W) . An anti-histone DNA ELISA for cell apoptosis, a BrdU ELISA for cell proliferation, a WST-1 assay for cell viability, and a live/dead assay for cell death were performed.
Results: Despite the severity of the retinal detachment, stable clinical outcomes were obtained in all three cases. Immunostaining of the explanted iehAM showed no evidence of cellular immunological rejection. In vitro, there was no statistical significant change in cell death or cell viability nor were proliferative effects detected on ARPE-19, Müller cells, and retinal neuroblasts exposed to AM.
Conclusion: iehAM was a viable adjuvant with many potential benefits for treatment of complicated retinal detachment. Our investigations could not detect any signs of rejection reactions or toxicity. Further studies are needed to evaluate this potential in more detail.
