Alarmins from conjunctival fibroblasts up-regulate matrix metalloproteinases in corneal fibroblasts

AIM: To explore the effects of alarmins produced by necrotic human conjunctival fibroblasts on the release of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs). METHODS: A necrotic cell supernatant (NHCS) was prepared by subjecting human conjunctival fibroblasts to three cycles o...
