Provided is a drug or method for treating or preventing a condition, disorder, or disease of the corneal endothelium caused by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signals, mitochondrial abnormalities, and/or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated stress in corneal endothelial cells, using p38 MAP kinase inhibitors. The present invention provides a drug which includes p38 MAP kinase inhibitors, and which is for treating or preventing a condition, disorder, or disease of the corneal endothelium caused by TGF-β signals and/or mitochondrial abnormalities in corneal endothelial cells. In the preferred embodiment, the condition, disorder, or disease of the corneal endothelium is Fuchs' corneal endothelial dystrophy.
本发明提供了一种利用p38 MAP激酶抑制剂治疗或预防角膜内皮细胞中由转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)信号、线粒体异常和/或内质网(ER)相关应激引起的角膜内皮细胞状况、失调或疾病的药物或方法。本发明提供了一种药物,其中包括 p38 MAP 激酶抑制剂,用于治疗或预防由角膜内皮细胞中的 TGF-β 信号和/或线粒体异常引起的角膜内皮的状况、紊乱或疾病。在优选的实施方案中,角膜内皮的状况、失调或疾病是福氏角膜内皮营养不良症。
