Figure 2. LIMK1-targeted siRNA
blocks corneal fibroblast migration. A-D: Phase contrast
micrographs demonstrating migration of (A) untreated cells; (B)
cells treated with 100 nM scrambled control siRNA; (C) cells
treated with 50 nM LIMK1-targeted siRNA; (D) cells
treated with 100 nM LIMK1-tareted siRNA into the scratched
wound area (marked by dotted white lines). E: Bar graph showing
mean percentage of scratch-wounded area covered by migrating corneal
fibroblasts in each specimen (n=10); error bars represent standard
error of the mean. Asterisks denote values significantly different from
those of samples treated with scrambled control siRNA (p<0.0001
[n=10] compared to scrambled siRNA). Experiments were repeated 3 times,
yielding similar results.
