Growth factor influence on the gene expression profile of human meibomian gland epithelial cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Analysis of growth factor influence on immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cells at gene expression level. Growth factors play a critical role in the proliferation and differentiation of sebaceous gland epithelial cells. Given that the meibomian gland is a large sebaceous gland, we hypothesize that growth factors exert analogous effects on human meibomian gland epithelial cells. Results provide important information of the response of human meibomian gland epithelial cells to epidermal growth factor (EGF), bovine pituitary extract (BPE), and both, such as up- or down- regulated genes involved in lipid metabolic process and cell cycle.
