Abstract

The present findings provide evidence of alterations in cytoprotective mechanisms including antioxidant defense, proteasome function, endoplasmic reticulum-related stress response, and DNA repair in anterior segment tissues of PEX eyes. The resultant enhanced sensitivity and vulnerability to cellular stress conditions may therefore be one contributing factor in the pathobiology of PEX syndrome.
