Fig. 3From: Inhibitory effect of a novel peptide, H-RN, on keratitis induced by LPS or poly(I:C) in vitro and in vivo via suppressing NF-κB and MAPK activationAttenuation of clinical manifestation (a) and clinical score (b) by H-RN in LPS-induced keratitis in rats. Rats except those in control group (PBS injection) were injected with LPS (10 μg diluted in 5-μl saline) into the corneal stroma and received subconjunctival injection or eye drops of H-RN or H-GP, DEX. Eyes were examined and scored 24 h later. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 compared with control group; *p < 0.05 compared with LPS group; DEX, dexamethasoneBack to article page
