Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to critically test the hypothesis that mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) function is essential for maintenance of the corneal myofibroblast phenotype in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Protein and mRNA for canonical profibrotic markers were assessed in cultured cat corneal myofibroblasts generated via transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 stimulation and treated with either the...
