Figure 5

Cx43 protein expression in AM defects after trauma. The distribution of Cx43 was analysed per unit tissue area for comparisons between epithelial and fibroblast layer (A) and per AEC or myofibroblast cell nuclei (B) in control and wound edge (WE) specimens. In all cases, error bars represent the mean and SEM values for n = 9 replicates, where membranes were taken from three donors. Significant differences were found as indicated by ***p < 0.001. Comparisons between CAM or PAM specimens in the epithelial and fibroblast layer are indicated by  +++ p < 0.001. All other comparisons were not statistically significant (not indicated).
