Such an antiscarring action by suppressing canonical TGF-β1 signaling was surprisingly accompanied by phenotypic reversal to keratocan-expressing keratocytes through activation of BMP signaling. Further investigation disclosed that such phenotypic reversal was initiated by cell aggregation mediated by SDF1-CXCR4 signaling highlighted by nuclear translocation of CXCR4 and upregulation of CXCR4 transcript and protein followed by activation of canonical BMP signaling. Conclusions These findings collectively provide mechanistic understan
