Purpose/Aim Corneal stromal fibroblasts are connected to each other via gap junctions, which contribute to maintenance of corneal homeostasis. Viral infection of the corneal stroma can result in inflammation and scarring. The effects of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(IC)], an analog of viral double-stranded RNA, on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in cultured human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs) were examined.Materials and Methods Cultured HCFs were exposed to poly(IC) in the absence or presence of inhibitors of mi
