Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a vision-threatening corneal infection that is intimately associated with contact lens use which leads to hypoxic conditions on the corneal surface. However, the effect of hypoxia on the Acanthamoeba-induced host inflammatory response of corneal epithelial cells has
Objective: To investigate the regulation mechanism of Acanthamoeba-induced immune responses of human corneal epithelial cells in a hypoxia condition. Methods: Telomerase-immortalized human epithelial cells (THCEs) challenged with Acanthamoeba (1×106/ml) were incubated under normoxic (21% O2)
