Fig. 1: Differential expression of NFAT5 in naive corneas and corneas after perforating corneal injury (PCI).
From: The role of the osmosensitive transcription factor NFAT5 in corneal edema resorption after injury
a Expression of NFAT5 (green) in naive (top) and injured (bottom) corneal whole mounts. Vimentin (purple) was used as a marker for corneal fibroblasts, and F4/80 (red) was used as a marker for corneal macrophages. Magnification: 40x, arrowheads indicate coexpression of NFAT5 with vimentin or F4/80. b Quantification of the coexpression of NFAT5 with vimentin or F4/80 in naive and injured corneas (*indicates the statistical significance between vimentin+/NFAT5+ cells in naive vs. injured corneas; ¤ indicates the statistical significance between F4/80 +/NFAT5+ cells in naive vs. injured corneas (n = 6)). c mRNA expression of Nfat5 in bone marrow-derived macrophages 24 h after stimulation with LPS/interferon-γ; **p < 0.01, n = 5.
