Characterization and Comparison of Intercellular Adherent Junctions Expressed by Human Corneal Endothelial Cells In Vivo and In Vitro
1 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Human corneal endothelial cell (HCEC) proliferation is controlled by HCEC junctions, but the mechanism of proliferation remains unknown. The authors sought to characterize adherent junction components of in vivo HCECs and to compare their gene expression and their proliferative potential with those of in vitro counterparts. METHODS: Stripped human Descemet membranes were digested with collagenase A, and...
