Figure 3. Expression of αA-crystallin was similar in age-related cataracts and high-myopic cataracts classified as Lens Opacity Classification System III Grade Nuclear Color 2–3.

Figure 3

Alpha-crystallin expression in the lens epithelium of each group was detected by (A) real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR; also showing levels of αA-crystallin relative to β-actin) and (B) reverse transcription PCR (C, D, E) Representative immunohistochemistry images of the Control, Age-Related Cataract Nuclear Color (NC) 2–3, and High-Myopic Cataract NC2–3 Groups. (F) Mean staining density in each group (*all p<0.05).
