Apoptosis of LECs. (a) The lens sections from a normal Zucker lean rat (ZL), vehicle-treated ZDF rat (ZDF), and ZDF rat treated with KIOM-79 (KIOM-79) were stained with a TUNEL kit. Apoptotic LECs (arrow) were observed in vehicle-treated ZDF rats. (b) Immunofluorescence staining of cleaved caspase-3. Immunofluorescence signals for cleaved caspase-3 (red) were mainly detected in the lens epithelium of ZDF rats. X400 magnification. (c and d) Quantitative analysis of TUNEL-positive and cleaved caspase-3-positive cells in LECs. All data are expressed as means ± SE, n = 8. *P < .01 versus normal ZL rats, ^# P < .01 versus vehicle-treated ZDF rats.
