Endothelial<i>Cdkn1a</i>(<i>p21</i>) Overexpression and Accelerated Senescence in a Mouse Model of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
7 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Stress of the endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress play critical roles in the pathogenesis of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD). In the normal aging cornea, cellular stress has been associated with a loss in proliferative capacity (premature senescence) of corneal endothelial cells (CECs). The present study used a transgenic Col8a2(Q455K/Q455K) knock-in mouse model of early-onset FECD to...
