    Jiucheng J He and Haydee E P HE Bazan

    Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 47(3):883-91 (2006) PMID 16505020

    Corneal myofibroblasts express a PAF receptor in the nuclear membrane, and they also express TNF-RI and RII. The synergistic effect on myofibroblast apoptosis by PAF and TNF-alpha suggests that during corneal stromal wound healing, PAF acting in conjunction with other cytokines could play an importa...

    We developed an approach to generate a three-dimensional map that facilitates the assessment of epithelial nerve density in different corneal areas to define aging and gender influence on human corneal nerve architecture. Twenty-eight fresh human eyes from 14 donors of different ages were studied. C...

  3. PAF-induced furin and MT1-MMP expression is independent of MMP-2 activation in corneal myofibroblasts.
    Paulo P Ottino, Jiucheng J He, ... Haydee E P HE Bazan

    Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 46(2):487-96 (2005) PMID 15671273

    PAF, through a receptor-mediated mechanism, induces a specific pattern of furin, MMP, and TIMP-2 expression in corneal myofibroblasts. MMP-2 activity was unchanged by PAF treatment. These results suggest that in response to the inflammatory mediator PAF, induction of MT1-MMP is independent of MMP-2...
