Fbln7-FL and Fbln7-C inhibit 7KCh-induced neovascularization in vivo. (A) Surgical procedure for the rat corneal angiogenesis model. (B) Rat corneal angiogenesis model. Implants containing 300 ng protein/implant were placed into the anterior chamber, and fluorescent images were taken 10 days post-implantation. Three different implants were inserted: 7KCh and BSA (control), 7KCh and Fbln7-FL, and 7KCh and Fbln7-C. White dotted circles indicate implants. White triangles indicate neovasculature from limbus towards the implant. L: Limbus; triangles indicate neovasculature; scale bar: 1 mm. (C) Protein dose-dependent experiments in the rat corneal angiogenesis model. Neovessel area was calculated for each experiment, with 6, 60, and 300 ng protein in the implants. N = 6, *P < 0.05.
