1 Elastin modulation and modification by homocysteine: a key factor in the pathogenesis of Pseudoexfoliation syndrome? Homocysteine elastin Homo sapiens
2 Hcy (200 microM) and HCTL (1 microM) promoted elastin expression at mRNA level by 36-fold (p=0.02) and 10-fold (p=0.05), respectively, and at protein level by nearly two-fold in cultured hLECs. Homocysteine elastin Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: The study reveals that lens accumulation of Hcy associated with hyperhomocysteinaemia is characteristic of PXF that augments elastin expression. Homocysteine elastin Homo sapiens
4 Hcy causes structural changes promoting elastin aggregation, thereby contributing to defective elastin in PXF and PXF-G. Homocysteine elastin Homo sapiens
5 Hcy causes structural changes promoting elastin aggregation, thereby contributing to defective elastin in PXF and PXF-G. Homocysteine elastin Homo sapiens
