Transient responses and miRNA regulation to Alkali-burn in mouse cornea. 1 N NaOH was applied to corneas of 6 to 8 weeks old male C57BL/6 mice for 10 min. The control corneas were treated with normal saline. Transient responses, including relative levels of opacity scores (A) and corneal neovascularization (VNV) scores (B) were measured and compared between the corneas treated with alkali and saline, at 0, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 72 hours. (C) QPCR was also applied to compare the relative expression levels of miR-206 between corneas treated with alkali and saline. (*: P < 0.05).
