p120-catenin downregulation selectively modulates inflammatory susceptibility in eyelid specimens of rosacea.

Lysates were made from elective repair of involutional ectropion tissue.

Western blotting expression was determined by band densitometry.

On immunohistochemical, there was no significant difference in junctional staining intensity scores between rosacea and control patients.

These results suggest that nuclear p120 is downregulated in eyelid specimens of rosacea, while other key junctional proteins appear unaffected.
