Figure 9. Effect of 3 culture media
on ZO1 and N-cadherin localization in MSCs associated with
damaged HCEC. Fluorescence confocal microscopic images show
that, in wounded corneas incubated in MSCBM, ZO1 and N-cadherin
were localized diffusely within the cytoplasm of the MSCs. In
wounded corneas incubated in LECBM or LECCM, ZO1 and N-cadherin
tended to localize at the lateral borders of MSCs. Arrows in A-C
show edges of the damaged endothelium. Red: ZO1. Green:
N-cadherin. Original magnification: 40×.
