While cystatins in general, and cystatin C specifically, are expressed in various cell types and found in biological fluids, cystatins in ocular structures have not been investigated. In the present study, the expression of cystatin C mRNA in the eye of the rat was studied.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Total RNA was extracted from eyes as well as from pooled corneae, retinas, lenses, sclerae, and corneae of adult rats. Cystatin C mRNA was detected in the RNA samples by reverse transcriptase\u2014polymerase chain reaction and Northern blot hybridization. In addition, in situ hybridizations of formalin\u2010fixed cryostat sections were carried out using a digoxigenin\u2010labeled cystatin C probe.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Cystatin C mRNA was demonstrated in total RNAs extracted from the eye, sclera, and retina, but not in RNAs isolated from the cornea and lens. In situ hybridizations revealed cystatin C mRNA in most of the stromal cells of the sclera. In the retina, a strong signal was localized in the outer nuclear layer. The distribution of the reaction product suggested that in the retina M\u00fcller cells and rod cells are the primary sites of expression of cystatin C. In addition, some glial cells in the inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers were stained. No specific signal for cystatin C mRNA was detected in the cornea, lens, iris, ciliary body, and choroid.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: In the eye of the rat, significant levels of cystatin C mRNA are detected in the sclera and retina. In the sclera cystatin C may play a role in modulating the activities of cysteine proteinases, mostly cathepsins, involved in the turnover and remodeling of the stroma. In the retina, cystatins synthesized and presumably released by M\u00fcller cells and rod cells may have a protective function against the harmful effects of cysteine proteinases released under physiologic and pathologic conditions. \u00a9 1994 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1092390312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,26]],"date-time":"2005-02-26T19:33:29Z","timestamp":1109446409000},"page":"343-348","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Expression of the cysteine proteinase inhibitor cystatin C mRNA in rat eye"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"239","author":[{"given":"Tibor","family":"Barka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hendrika","family":"Van Der Noen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"11","article-title":"Isolation of six cysteine proteinase inhibitors from human urine.
