[Retracted] Endostatin Inhibits Blood-Retinal Barrier Breakdown in Diabetic Rats by Increasing the Expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 and Decreasing the Expression of VEGF

Figure 5

Endostatin prevented the loss of junction proteins in the diabetic retinal. (a) Western blotting was performed to test the expression of junction proteins in the retina tissues from the diabetic rats, including ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-5. (b) The immunofluorescence assay was conducted to evaluate the expression of claudin-5 in the retina tissues from the diabetic rats.
