Purpose: To characterize Zeb1 regulation of nitrogen mustard (NM)-induced acute corneal epithelial damage and its recovery in mice.
Methods: This study utilized topical fluorescein staining and section immunohistochemistry to evaluate NM-induced acute corneal epithelial damage and its recovery in both Zeb1 wild-type and heterozygous knockout mice, as well as real-time quantitative PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation to delineate the mechanism underlying Zeb1 regulation of such corneal epithelial damage and recovery.
Results: Topical application of NM on the central cornea causes an immediate reduction of Zeb1 expression, followed by de-epithelization and epithelial cell death, along with cell proliferation resulting in epithelial recovery. Monoallelic knockout of Zeb1 decreased NM-induced acute epithelial damage but delayed the recovery from the damage.
Conclusions: Zeb1 facilitates NM-induced corneal epithelial wound healing by maintaining epithelial renewability and thus is a potential therapeutic target to reduce acute mustard gas keratopathy in early ocular pathogenesis.
