MicroRNA of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Fuchs’ Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy

Abstract: Aim: a review of miRNA expression connected to epithelial mesenchymal transition studies in Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). Methods: literature search strategy—PubMed central database, using “miRNA” or “microRNA“ and “epithelial mesenchymal transition” or “EMT“ and “Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy” or “FECD” as keywords. Experimental or clinical studies on humans published in English regarding miRNA profiles of epithelial mesenchymal transition in Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy publishe… Show more

“…For example, a key age-related clinical feature of the cornea is the disruption of the epithelial barrier function, resulting in cornea surface irregularities [36]. Aged corneas also express some characteristics similar to those found in FECD [11]. Thus, the prevalence of DED and its associated visual impairment is widely known to increase significantly with age [32,36].…”

“…With the development of FECD, the accelerated aging mechanisms lead to a loss of endothelial cells [ 10 , 12 ]. However, in the early stage, it is difficult to differentiate FECD pathogenesis from the corneal changes in normal aging [ 11 ]; despite this, FECD is a leading cause of corneal endothelial (CE) degeneration and can result in impaired visual acuity, particularly in women [ 9 , 12 ].…”
