From: Atrophic meibomian gland dysfunction induced by eyelid margin cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen
Inflammation of MGs after liquid nitrogen injury of eyelid margin. (A) Gene expression levels of IL-1β, IL-18 were upregulated in the MG of mice post liquid nitrogen injury. ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001. (B, D) Immunofluorescence staining of TNFα was upregulated in the MG post liquid nitrogen injury. Scale bars represent 50 μm (n = 3). ****p < 0.0001. (C, E) Immunofluorescence staining of K14 was downregulated in the meibomian gland acinar cells post liquid nitrogen injury. Scale bars represent 50 μm (n = 3). ****p < 0.0001.
