Effect of isolated keratin 3 knockdown on gene expression of primary limbal epithelial cells without and with inflammatory stimuli
5 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Studies have shown that keratin 3 (KRT3) expression is reduced in paired box 6 (PAX6) haploinsufficient primary limbal epithelial cells (LECs). The downregulation of KRT3 expression due to PAX6 haploinsufficiency is likely a critical factor in the development and progression of aniridia associated keratopathy (AAK). In addition, the ocular surface of congenital aniridia patients exhibits an inflammatory...
