Effect of Diquafosol on Hyperosmotic Stress-induced Tumor Necrosis Factor- α and Interleukin-6 Expression in Human Corneal Epithelial Cells.

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that diquafosol inhibits nuclear factor-kappa B signaling and inflammatory factors induced by hyperosmotic stress in HCECs. This suggests that using diquafosol for the improvement of dry eye syndrome could be effective in the treatment of inflammation-related corneal and conjunctival diseases.
