To investigate the roles of HDAC1/2 and HDAC3 in adult Meibomian gland (MG) homeostasis. Methods HDAC1/2 or HDAC3 were inducibly deleted in MG epithelial cells of adult mice. The morphology of MG was examined. Proliferation, apoptosis, and expression of MG acinus and duct marker genes, meib...
The tear film is packed with numerous proteins whose major sources are corneal epithelial cells, goblet cells, lacrimal gland, mebomian gland, and blood vessels. Proteomics analysis of human tears in healthy subjects and dry eye patients has been intensively performed in recent years (Srinivasan et...
