Effects of TAT-HA-Prdx6 on the opacity of rat organ cultured lenses exposed to UV-B irradiation. Fifteen lenses from 12-week-old rats were organ-cultured for 24 h in Medium 199 containing 10 or 20 μg/mL TAT-HA-Prdx6 (n = 5 per group) or 20 μg/mL TAT-HA-Prdx6 with a mutation (Mut) at the active site. The cells were irradiated with 6.0 kJ/m2 UV-B. a Photographs of 3 lenses at 120 h after UV-B treatment, showing the degree of lens opacity. b Histograms showing the density of opacity. The addition of 10 and 20 μg/mL TAT-HA-Prdx6 significantly reduced UV-B-induced lens opacity (*P < 0.004, **P < 0.0002). Results are shown as the mean ± SD of three experiments.
