Effect of Retinoic Acid on Gene Expression in Human Conjunctival Epithelium: Secretory Phospholipase A<sub>2</sub>Mediates Retinoic Acid Induction of MUC16
26 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: How vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of the wet-surfaced phenotype at the ocular surface is not well understood. This study sought to identify vitamin A-responsive genes in ocular surface epithelia using gene microarray analysis of cultures of a human conjunctival epithelial (HCjE) cell line grown with all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). The analysis showed that secretory phospholipase A(2) group IIA...
