Rho-Kinase Inhibition Reduces Myofibroblast Differentiation and Proliferation of Scleral Fibroblasts Induced by Transforming Growth Factor β and Experimental Glaucoma

PURPOSE: We evaluated prevention of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)–induced transdifferentiation of cultured scleral fibroblasts to myofibroblasts by rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitors. Additionally, we tested whether local delivery of ROCK inhibitors reduced scleral fibroblast prol...
