The present invention provides a composition for treating or preventing corneal endothelial symptoms, disorders, or diseases that are attributed to TGF-β signaling in corneal endothelial cells. Provided by the present invention is a composition that includes a compound and that is for treating or preventing endothelial symptoms, disorders, or diseases, wherein, when the compound comes into contact with immortalized cells of Fuchs' corneal endothelial dystrophy, (i) said immortalized cells exhibit a cell survival rate (%) of approximately 90% or more after being cultured for 24-28 hours in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) + 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) + 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P/S), and (ii) the ratio of caspase 3/7 activity (%) in the presence of TGF-β with respect to said cellular survival rate (%) is at most 0.8 after being cultured for 24-28 hours in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) + 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) + 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P/S).
本发明提供了一种用于治疗或预防角膜内皮症状、失调或疾病的组合物,这些症状、失调或疾病归因于角膜内皮细胞中的TGF-β信号传导。本发明提供了一种包含化合物的组合物,该组合物用于治疗或预防内皮症状、紊乱或疾病,其中,当该化合物与福氏角膜内皮营养不良症的永生化细胞接触时、(i) 在杜氏改良鹰培养基(DMEM)+2% 胎牛血清(FBS)+1% 青霉素/链霉素(P/S)中培养 24-28 小时后,所述永生化细胞表现出约 90% 或以上的细胞存活率(%),以及 (ii) 在 TGF-β 存在下,caspase 3/7 活性(%)与所述细胞存活率(%)之比至多为 0.在杜氏改良老鹰培养基(DMEM)+2% 胎牛血清(FBS)+1% 青霉素/链霉素(P/S)中培养 24-28 小时后,细胞存活率(%)最多为 0.8。
