The Effect of Graded Cyclic Stretching on Extracellular Matrix–Related Gene Expression Profiles in Cultured Primary Human Lamina Cribrosa Cells
18 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cyclic stretching of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-negative lamina cribrosa (LC) cell in vitro is associated with transcriptomic changes in genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics in vivo, thereby implicating this cell type in the pathophysiologic changes of the optic nerve head (ONH) in glaucoma. The purpose of the study was to determine whether exposure to different grades of...
