Hyperosmolarity disrupts tight junction via TNF-α/MMP pathway in primary human corneal epithelial cells

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of the tight junction (TJ) disruption and the association between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) under hyperosmotic condition in primary human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). METHODS: The cultured HCECs were exposed to media whic...
