Expression of<i>VSX1</i>in Human Corneal Keratocytes during Differentiation into Myofibroblasts in Response to Wound Healing

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To characterize the expression of the visual system homeobox gene (VSX1) in human corneal keratocytes both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The expression of VSX1 was evaluated through semiquantitative RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization both in corneas (either freshly obtained or wounded) and in collagenase/hyaluronidase-isolated keratocytes grown in the absence or presence of serum to...
