Evaluation of cGMP dependent pathway using guanylate cyclase inhibitor, ODQ (20 μM), in TGFβ1 (10 ng/mL) stimulated keratocyted. Addition of ODQ eliminated the anti-myofibroblastic effect of NO donors (DETA NONOates and sodium nitrite) as demonstrated by the restored α-SMA expression. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni multiple comparison test and the significant difference compared to no treated control (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01); #significant difference compared to TGFβ1 treated group (#p < 0.05).
