Figure 4. Healing of an in vitro wound in a monolayer of the Araki-Sasaki corneal epithelial cell line
Adding exogenous TGFβ1 promotes closure of the defect produced in a monolayer of corneal epithelial cell line. Adding TNFα alone did not exhibit a significant effect on defect closure, it reverses promotion of epithelial healing by TGFβ1. The asterisk indicates a p <0.01 as compred with control. The scale bar in L is equal to 200 μm and the bar in M is the standard deviation.
