additional information | topical dexamethasone (Dex)-treated MMP-8 knockout mice in the corneal alkali burn murine model show reduced corneal clarity, increased expression of inflammatory mediators (IL-6, CXCL1, and MMP-1 mRNA) and increased neutrophil infiltration at 2D and 5D compared to Dex-treated wild-type mice. The accumulation of neutrophils is reduced in wounded corneas of MMP-8 knockout mice subjected to the corneal alkali burn murine (CM) model | Mus musculus |
