    Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmacological action of a compound which functions as a PPAR? agonist on the barrier function of the corneal epithelium. A PPAR? agonist such as rivoglitazone, DRF-2593, GW-544 or BMS-298585 exhibits an excellent effect of enhancing the corneal epithelial barrier function in a test for enhancement of corneal epithelial barrier function, and therefore is useful as a preventive agent or a therapeutic agent for ocular infection or ocular unidentified complaint caused by a decrease in the corneal epithelial barrier function. Further, the PPAR? agonist can enhance the corneal epithelial barrier function of diabetic patients, patients with decreased corneal epithelial barrier function due to aging and patients who underwent refractive surgery such as PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) or LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) or cataract surgery.

The truncated receptor preferentially associated with ErbB3, whereas full length ErbB2 heterodimerizes with either EGFR or ErbB3. Consistent with p95ErbB2 heterodimerization with ErbB3, it is shown that heregulin (an ErbB3 ligand) stimulates p95ErbB2 phosphorylation in breast cancer cell lines. Described herein are methods of identifying patients suitable for treatment with a p95ErbB2 inhibitor, and methods of treating such patients.
