In the presence of PGF2α or OMD, the downregulation of COL4 (2D), FN (3D), αSMA (2D), TIMP3 (3D), MMP9 (3D) and the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) (2D), and the upregulation of TIMP4 (2D and 3D), MMP2, 9 and 14 (2D), respectively, were observed. This evidence concerns the gene ACTA1 and occult macular dystrophy.
