p53-Regulated Increase in Oxidative-Stress–Induced Apoptosis in Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy: A Native Tissue Model
8 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study compared susceptibility of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and normal corneal endothelial cells (CECs) to oxidative stress, and studied the mechanism of oxidative-stress-induced apoptosis in FECD-affected endothelium. METHODS: For in vitro studies, immortalized normal and FECD human corneal endothelial cell lines (HCECi and FECDi, respectively) were exposed to tert-butyl...
