Effect of SAHA and TGFβ on cultured lenticules. Relative mRNA expression of αSMA (A) and IL6 (B) in cultured lenticules (n = 4). Obtained after SMILE surgery that were treated with SAHA (5 µM), TGFβ (10 ng/ml), SAHA (5 µM) + TGFβ (10 ng/ml) for 48hrs. Mann- Whitney test for independent samples were run to get statistical significance (p = 0.018) by using statistical software GraphPad PRISM Ver 6.01.
