[Expression of bFGF in primary human lens epithelial cells]
1Department of Ophthalmology, First Hospital, Beijing Medical University, Beijing 100034.
Abstract
Objective:
To study the mechanism of after cataract formation and investigate the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in primary human lens epithelial cells (PHLECs).
Methods:
Human lens epithelial cells were cultured in vitro, and the expression of bFGF was detected with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.
Results:
PHLECs express bFGF in protein and mRNA levels.
Conclusion:
Based on bFGF promoting PHLEC growth and differentiation, the results suggest that bFGF from PHLECs take part in promoting such cell growth and differentiation.
