Figure 3. Comparison of RNA level expression of Five pro-fibrotic genes in ablated and unablated corneas.

Figure 3

Freshly obtained rabbit globes were ablated to a depth of 155μm and cultured at the air-liquid interface for 14 days in full serum media. RNA from the scar-like tissue was collected using a 8 mm punch biopsy and the expression levels of 5 profibrotic genes were analyzed using qRT PCR. 18S rRNA was used as the housekeeping gene. All RNA expressions were normalized to their respective levels in unablated corneas (n=3 for each group). Asterisks indicate significant differences (p<0.05).
