Research Abstract |
Using wild type mice and healthy cynomolgus monkeys, we prepared ocular sections, performed immuno-staining and found the co-existence of Rab8 and ERM family in the ocular ciliary body. However, significant results from immuno-staining of ocular sections in Rab8-deficient mice were not found. We performed western blot analysis of Rab8 using cultured ocular ciliary epithelium cells of cynomolgus monkeys, and found that the Rab8 reduced concentration-dependently when dexamethasone was added to culture medium, whereas obvious changes were not found when other drugs were added.
