Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the regulatory role of FGF-2 on type I collagen expression during endothelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT). METHODS: Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) treated with FGF-2 from the primary culture to the third passage were transformed and designated as fibroblastic CECs (fCECs). Steady state levels of both type I collagen RNAs were measured using reverse transcription-real-time PCR, and...
