Analysis of superoxide dismutase 1, dual-specificity phosphatase 1, and transforming growth factor, beta 1 genes expression in keratoconic and non-keratoconic corneas.

Abstract

This study demonstrated a higher level of DUSP1 and TGF-β1 expression as known molecules in the inflammatory process. These results may provide new insight into the complex molecular pathways underlying KCN for investigating other inflammatory molecules.
