Quantification of radiolabeled tropoelastin. The amounts of radiolabeled tropoelastin in fibroblasts of normal conjunctival cells increased after irradiation with UVB at 6 mJ/cm 2 (Student’s t-test; P < 0.05 compared with normal conjunctival fibroblasts). The levels of radiolabeled tropoelastin in fibroblasts of normal conjunctival cells irradiated with UVB at 6 mJ/cm 2 are the same as in pinguecular fibroblasts (n = 5; Student’s t-test; P > 0.05). In the cellular extracts, the amounts of radiolabeled tropoelastin were similar to fibroblasts of normal conjunctiva cells, UVB-irradiated conjunctival fibroblasts, and pinguecular fibroblasts (n = 5; one-way analysis of variance; P > 0.05).
