Fig. 2. Delayed epithelial healing in Mmp12-/- mice during corneal wound repair in vivo.

Fig. 2

(A) Photographs of scratch injured WT and Mmp12-/- mouse corneas just prior to injury (0h) and 8 hours (8h) after corneal epithelial injury. (B) Quantification of the percent wound area healed 8 hours after injury in WT (42%; n=6) and Mmp12-/- (31%; n=11) mouse corneas. Results are means ± s.e.m.; ** P <0.005. (C) Photographs of scratch injured WT and Mmp12-/- mouse corneas just prior to injury (0h) and 18 hours (18h) after corneal epithelial injury. (D) Quantification of the percent wound area healed 18 hours after injury in WT (99%; n=8) and Mmp12-/- (93%; n=5) mouse corneas. Results are means ± s.e.m.; * P <0.05.
