Progression of anterior cortical cataract in Epha2-knockout mice on FVB:C57BL/6J mixed background.Epha2+/+, Epha2+/, and Epha2/ mice on FVB:C57BL/6J (50:50) mixed background were monitored for cataract development from 11 ± 3 weeks to 64 ± 3 weeks of age. (A) Mean cortical cataract grade in each genotype of mice at each time point is graphically represented. Epha2/ mice developed severe cataract by 38 ± 3 weeks of age whereas Epha2+/ mice developed only moderate cataract by 64 ± 3 weeks of age. Epha2+/+ mice presented with mild cataract up to 64 ± 3 weeks of age. The Mann Whitney U test P values from comparison with Epha2+/+ mice are indicated. Error bars represent standard error of the mean. After an animal exhibited a cataract grade of 4 or 5, the same grade was attributed to subsequent time points for data analysis assuming no further increase in cataract severity. (B) The table shows Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test P values of comparison between time points indicating the effect of age on cataract progression in each genotype of mice. † Indicates likely artifact of anesthetic-induced cataract.
