Role of TGFβ/Smad Signaling in Gremlin Induction of Human Trabecular Meshwork Extracellular Matrix Proteins
4 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The bone morphogenic protein (BMP) antagonist gremlin is elevated in glaucomatous trabecular meshwork (TM) cells and tissues and elevates intraocular pressure (IOP). Gremlin also blocks BMP4 inhibition of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2 induction of TM extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Gremlin regulates ECM proteins in cultured human TM cells....
