Change in corneal tissue integrity post-alkali burn: (A) Gene expression analysis to determine the effective dosage of TSA and SurR9-C84A using ex vivo rat eyes. (B) Rat eyes were exposed to 1 M NaOH for 1 min and then treated with TSA or SurR9-C84A or a combination of both [TSA+SurR9-C84A(SR9)] for 40 min. The excised eyes were used to determine the opacity and inflammatory scores and H&E staining was performed to determine the effect of alkali burn and treatments on corneal tissue integrity. (C) Immunofluorescence staining for expression of clathrin in conjunctival layer and claudin in corneal layer was performed to determine the effect of alkali burn and treatments on corneal tissue integrity. (D) Western blotting analysis confirmed that both decrease in expressions of clathrin and claudin in rat corneal tissue lysates. Each blot was repeated thrice and a representative blot has been presented. (E) Band density analysis of western blot was performed using image J software. The experiments were conducted in five animals per treatment group. The H&E staining was performed on five slides obtained from each animal and a representative image has been presented. Five images of each treatment were taken for immunofluorescence studies and a representative image has been presented. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
