Altered Expression of CLC, DSG3, EMP3, S100A2, and SLPI in Corneal Epithelium from Keratoconus Patients
13 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This investigation was designed to determine whether the five genes, CLC, DSG3, EMP3, S100A2 and SLPI, are differentially expressed in keratoconus, as indicated from another study. METHODS: Gene expression was monitored using quantitative real-time PCR on 14 keratoconus samples and 16 controls, and normalized to GAPDH and B2M. The DSG3, S100A2, and SLPI proteins were quantified by Western blotting, and...
