Fig. 7. Expression of autophagy-related proteins in KC epithelium.

Fig. 7.

A) Western blot analysis of LC3A/B and LAMP1 expression in different clinical grades of KC epithelium compared to healthy cornea collected prior to PRK (control). GAPDH served as the loading control. B) Immunofluorescence of LC3A/B and LAMP1 in KC epithelium compared to healthy donor corneal epithelium (arrows).

(GAPDH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; KC-G: keratoconus-grade; LAMP1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha; PRK: photorefractive keratectomy).
