Effects of disintegrin Echistatin on transdifferentiation and collagen synthesis of lens epithelial cells in posterior capsular opacification models of diabetic rabbits
Objective To investigate the effects of disintegrin Echistatin on epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation( EMT) and collagen synthesis of lens epithelial cells in posterior capsular opacification( PCO) models of diabetic rabbits. Methods Rabbits were induced diabetes with alloxan and implemented lens extraction surgery. According to the different concentration of Echistatin( disintegrin) injected into anterior chamber,the diabetic rabbits were divided into three groups: control group( sterilization di...
