MicroRNAs Expression in Response to rhNGF in Epithelial Corneal Cells: Focus on Neurotrophin Signaling Pathway

Abstract excerpt

Purpose. Nerve growth factor efficacy was demonstrated for corneal lesions treatment, and recombinant human NGF (rhNGF) was approved for neurotrophic keratitis therapy. However, NGF-induced molecular responses in cornea are still largely unknown. We analyzed microRNAs expression in human epithelial corneal cells after time-dependent rhNGF treatment. Methods. Nearly 700 microRNAs were analyzed by qRT-PCR....
