BMP-2 expression in myopia and recovery from myopia of guinea pigs.

Abstract

<p>Immunofluorescence analysis of BMP-2 expression in the retina, RPE, choroid and sclera of guinea pigs. The staining in the myopic sclera of the LIM group was weaker than that of the control eyes (A). Changes in the expression of BMP-2 in the sclera of guinea pigs detected by western blot analysis (C,D). The data are expressed as the mean±SEM, * p≤0.05 vs. the contralateral eye. <i>INL</i> inner nuclear layer, <i>ONL</i> outer nuclear layer, <i>RPE</i> retinal pigmental epithelium, <i>chl</i> choroid, <i>Sc</i> sclera layer.</p
