Disease relevance of Epithelium, Corneal

 

High impact information on Epithelium, Corneal

  • In situ hybridization analysis did not detect CHST6 transcripts in corneal epithelium in an MCD type II patient, suggesting that the mutations found in type II lead to loss of cornea-specific expression of CHST6 [6].
  • Meesmann's corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal dominant disorder causing fragility of the anterior corneal epithelium, where K3 and K12 are specifically expressed [7].
  • EGF has diverse biological activities: it is a potent mitogen for many tissue culture cells, inhibits gastric acid secretion from the intestinal mucosa and promotes healing of the corneal epithelium [8].
  • Northern blots of mRNA from chicken corneal epithelium, MDCK cells, and various human tissues indicated that pinin messages exhibit tissue-specific variation in size, ranging from 3.2 to 4.1 kb [9].
  • Heparan sulfate proteoglycans with gonococcal binding activity were purified from various cell types derived from target tissues of gonococcal infection, including ME-180 endocervical cells and primary cultures of human corneal epithelium [10].
