Figure 7.—

KRT12 expression in the corneas of WT control, Dstn^corn1/corn1 control, and Dstn^corn1/corn1/Srf^Δce/Δce mice. Immunofluorescence for KRT12 (green) demonstrates a loss of expression in portions of corneal epithelium of Dox-induced Dstn^corn1/corn1 control and Dstn^corn1/corn1/Srf^Δce/Δce mice prior to Dox induction. KRT12 is expressed throughout the corneal epithelium in Dox-induced Dstn^corn1/corn1/Srf^Δce/Δce mice, demonstrating the restoration of normal cell differentiation. Corneas were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Bar, 20 μm.
