DNA Cross-linking, Double-Strand Breaks, and Apoptosis in Corneal Endothelial Cells after a Single Exposure to Mitomycin C
29 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the cellular effects of mitomycin C (MMC) treatment on corneal endothelial (CE) cells at clinically relevant applications and dosages. METHODS: Radial and posterior diffusion of MMC was determined by an Escherichia coli growth inhibition bioassay. A modified version of the comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) was used to detect DNA cross-linking. Immunostaining detected the...
