The Blockade of IL6 Counterparts the Osmolar Stress-Induced Apoptosis in Human Conjunctival Epithelial Cells

Figure 1

Change of conjunctival epithelial cells under 290 mOsm and 500 mOsm conditions. (a) Cell viability was significantly decreased in 500 mOsm at 12, 24, 48 h compared to 290 mOsm. (b) Cytokine ELISA assay showed 500 mOsm was significantly increased compared to 290 mOsm in cell supernatant. (c) IL6 increased depending on the time course, and the expression was higher in 500 mOsm than that in 290 mOsm. , .
