Compromised corneal wound healing in db/db mice is ameliorated with systemic administration of rhMG53 protein. A: Intensity of fluorescein staining at days 0–3 following alkaline injury to the cornea was presented for WT (top), db/db (middle), and db/db with rhMG53 treatment (bottom). B: Fluorescein intensity at different days after corneal alkaline injury was normalized to day 0. db/db cornea showed delayed healing of the cornea, which was improved with topical administration of rhMG53. C: Flat mounts of the cornea were stained with CD31 to reveal different degrees of vascularization at 14 days post–alkaline-induced injury to the cornea. D: Intensity of CD31 signal was used as index of vascularization of the cornea at 14 days post–alkaline injury (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
