Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Downregulation of lumican and keratocan expression is an undesirable phenotypic change that occurs during corneal wound healing. The present study was intended to determine whether the activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-signaling pathway is involved in their downregulation in TGF-β1- and FGF-2-activated keratocytes. METHODS: Keratocytes, isolated from rabbit corneal stroma, and cultured in a...
