Mechanoreceptor Piezo1-Mediated Interleukin Expression in Conjunctival Epithelial Cells: Linking Mechanical Stress to Ocular Inflammation
Seiya Fukuoka, Naoki Adachi, Erika Ouchi…·Masataka Sunagawa
This study shows that Piezo1 channel activation in conjunctival epithelial cells increases IL-6 and IL-8 expression through the p38 MAPK-CREB pathway, linking mechanical stress to ocular inflammation.
