Clinical objective measurements and AMP and TLR mRNA expression in subjects with DTS syndrome and age/sex-matched subjects. Subjects were classified as having DTS based on their subjective responses to the OSDI questionnaire and clinical objective measurements (A). CIC samples were analyzed to compare hCAP-18 (LL-37 precursor), hBD-2, TLR4, TLR5, and TLR9 mRNA expression by RT-PCR (B). The correlation between hBD-2 mRNA expression and corneal staining in DTS patients was determined (C). P less than or equal to 0.05 was considered to be significant (*) by Student's t-test. The data are representative of five DTS and four control subjects.
