Role of TGF-Beta1/SMAD2/3 Pathway in Retinal Outer Deep Vascular Plexus and Photoreceptor Damage in Rat 50/10 Oxygen-Induced Retinopathy

Figure 4

OIR induction and inhibitor administration decreased CD31 expression. (a, b) displayed the western-blot and quantification of CD31 in the four groups at D14. GAPDH was used as loading control. It was shown that CD31 reduced in the OIR group compared with the Normoxia group. Furthermore, LY364947 decreased the expression in the inhibitor groups compared with the noninhibitor counterparts (P<0.01).
