Figure 5

Effects of PPARδ on keratocyte proliferation four weeks after surgery. (a) Representative images of H & E staining. Inflammatory or endothelial cells were not observed. Scale bars, 50 μm. (b) Representative immunofluorescent staining images for CD11b. No positive cells were observed. DAPI-stained nuclei are shown in blue, and CD11b is shown in red. Scale bars, 50 μm. Mean number of keratocytes (c) and mRNA expression of Ki67 antigen (d) are depicted in the bar graph. Data are presented as the mean ± SD ( 3-4), and significant differences were statistically assessed using ANOVA. , versus GW501516 group.
