Leukocyte infiltration and inflammation-related mRNA levels in corneal grafts. (A) Representative flow cytometry plots and (B) statistical analysis of flow cytometry data showing the frequency of occurrence of infiltrating CD45+ leukocytes in grafted corneas at day 14 post-transplantation (n = 3, one-way ANOVA; *p < 0.05). mRNA levels of Cd11b (C) and Cd11c (D) expressed on the surface of leukocytes, including neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, in grafted corneas on day 14 post-transplantation (Cd11b n = 3, one-way ANOVA, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; Cd11c n = 3, one-way ANOVA, ***p < 0.001). (E) mRNA levels of inflammation-related markers in grafted corneas on day 14 post-transplantation (n = 3, one-way ANOVA; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). (F) mRNA level of Interleukin (Il)10 in the grafted cornea on day 14 post-transplantation (n = 3, one-way ANOVA; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). Statistical analyses of flow cytometry data were performed using FlowJo software X 10.5.3. (FlowJo LLC, Ashland, OR, USA; purchased from https://www.flowjo.com). ANOVA analysis of variance, Ifnγ Interferonγ, Tnf-α Tumor necrosis factor-α.
