Fig 1: Expression of tenascin-C, fibronectin, a-SMA, HSP47, and CD90 for the L and L + C groups at different time points. The staining was distinct for tenascin-C (TN; A) and fibronectin (FN; B) in all eyes at 1 month, and the extent was lesser in the L + C group than L group. There was minimal staining of a-SMA at all time points in all eyes (C). Significant upregulation of HSP47 was observed in all eyes (D), with comparable expression in L and L + C groups. Moderate expression of CD90 at 1 month in all eyes was seen (E). The staining for all the markers resolved with time. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Original magnification: 100×. Scale bar: 500 µm.
