Analysis of the Role of ZEB1 in the Pathogenesis of Posterior Polymorphous Corneal Dystrophy
23 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine how nonsense mutations in the transcription factor ZEB1 lead to the development of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy type 3 (PPCD3). METHODS: Whole-cell extracts were obtained from cultured human corneal epithelial cells (HCEpCs) as a source of ZEB1 protein. DNA-binding assays were performed using the whole-cell extract and oligonucleotide probes consisting of the two conserved E2-box...
