Involvement of SPARC and MMP-3 in the pathogenesis of human pterygium.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science - 2 Feb 2012

Seet Li-Fong, Tong Louis, Su Roseline, Wong Tina T

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To investigate the expression of SPARC and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in normal conjunctiva and pterygium tissues. METHODS: This study involved paired control or uninvolved conjunctiva and pterygium tissue from 21 patients. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to assess SPARC and MMP mRNA expression, whereas Western blot analysis was performed to assess SPARC protein levels in normal...
