Cell Motility through Blebbing01:16

Cell Motility through Blebbing

2.3K
Blebs are a type of membrane protrusion formed by the internal hydrostatic pressure of the cytoplasm. Blebs are observed in several cell types, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and single-celled organisms like the amoeba. The primary function of blebs is cell locomotion and apoptosis, but they are also found during necrosis and cell division. The life cycle of a bleb comprises an initiation phase followed by the expansion and retraction phases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Spontaneous filtering blebs are uncommon ocular findings.
  • Microspherophakia, scleral thinning, and craniofacial dysmorphism can be associated with syndromic conditions.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old female presented with bilateral spontaneous filtering blebs, severe scleral thinning, and microspherophakia.
  • Anterior segment optical coherence tomography confirmed the blebs as subconjunctival fluid-filled spaces.
  • Mild craniofacial dysmorphism was noted, with no signs of corneal ectasia.

Findings:

  • A tectonic scleral patch graft was performed on the right eye due to severe scleral thinning.
  • Post-operatively, the anterior chamber depth increased, and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved.
  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) remained within normal limits throughout the evaluation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential association between spontaneous filtering blebs and syndromic conditions.
  • Comprehensive evaluation of craniofacial features, sclera, crystalline lens, and IOP is crucial in such cases.
  • Tectonic scleral patch grafting may be a beneficial surgical option for managing severe scleral thinning and associated complications.
