Effect of zymosan on the expression and function of the gap-junction protein connexin 43 in human corneal fibroblasts

AIM: To study the effect of zymosan, a ligand found on the surface of fungi, on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in cultured human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs). METHODS: Zymosan was added to the medium of cultured HCFs with or without the administration of mitogen-activated protein ki...
