Col14a1 expression in the cornea decreases with maturation, and collagen XIV expression weakens in early adulthood. A:Col14a1 mRNA expression (pink) in the mouse cornea decreases after postnatal day (P) 4, shown by normalized Col14a1 mRNA expression in real-time PCR analysis. B: Protein expression of collagen XIV was decreased at P30 and mostly absent at P150. Left panel: The representative WES images of collagen XIV expression and total protein. Right panel: The quantitation of the collagen XIV normalized with total protein. The error bars represent the SD from two independent experiments. Three to five corneas of different mice at each age were used. Experiments were repeated three times. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
