WNT7A and PAX6 define corneal epithelium homeostasis and pathogenesis

TL;DR: Establishment of an in vitro feeder-cell-free LSC expansion and three-dimensional corneal differentiation protocol in which the transcription factors p63 and PAX6 act together to specify LSCs is found, suggesting a central role of the WNT7A–PAX6 axis in corNEal epithelial cell fate determination, and point to a new strategy for treating corneAL surface diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway suppresses the expression of extracellular matrix induced by CTGF or TGF-β in ARPE-19.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both TGF-β and CTGF upregulate the expression of ECM components including fibronectin, laminin, MMP-2 and type I collagen by activating the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.
