miR-19b overexpression results in repressed p-STAT3 and CD11c levels in AC eye and CLN tissues. (A) Expression levels of miR-19b in conjunctiva, cornea, and CLNs derived from the PBS, AC, AC + CYT387, AC + miR-19b, and AC + control miR groups as determined by qPCR. The results are expressed as mean ± SD from three independent experiments and each experiment was performed in triplicate. (B) Immunofluorescent staining on frozen sections of eyeballs from mice in each group that were probed for p-STAT3 (red) and CD11c (green) with DAPI counterstaining (blue). The scale bars represented 100 µm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001. The experiments were repeated 3 times.
