IGF‐1 released by corneal epithelial cells induces up‐regulation of N‐cadherin in corneal fibroblasts
15 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Interactions between epithelial cells and fibroblasts play important roles in tissue homeostasis. With the use of a coculture system in which human corneal fibroblasts and epithelial cells are cultured on opposite sides of a collagen (vitrigel) membrane, we have examined the effects of epithelial cells on expression of the adherens-junction protein N-cadherin in fibroblasts. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain...
