KLF4 Plays an Essential Role in Corneal Epithelial Homeostasis by Promoting Epithelial Cell Fate and Suppressing Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that KLF4 promotes corneal epithelial (CE) cell fate by suppressing the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), using spatiotemporally regulated CE-specific ablation of Klf4 in Klf4(Δ/ΔCE) (Klf4(LoxP/LoxP)/Krt12(rtTA/rtTA)/Tet-O-Cre) mic...
