Figures
There is an error in Figure 4. One panel (staining for occludin by latano) is an accidental duplication of Figure 7C in the authors’ previously published paper [2] with different magnification. The authors have provided a corrected Figure 4 here.
Corneal tissue blocks prepared from a control eye or from eyes treated with bimatoprost, travoprost, latanoprost or 0.02% BAK. The images are representative of at least three independent experiments. ZO-1 and occludin staining was observed as a continuous linear pattern along with superficial cell-cell borders in normal rabbit corneal epithelial cells. ZO-1 and occludin staining was discontinuous in the eyes treated with commercial PG analogs and 0.02% BAK
In addition, the legends of Figure 5 and Figure 6 are switched. Please see the corrected legends here.
Corneal tissue blocks prepared from a control eye or from eyes treated with bimatoprost, travoprost, latanoprost or 0.02% BAK. The images are representative of at least three independent experiments. E-cadherin and β-catenin staining was observed as a continuous linear pattern along with superficial cell-cell borders in normal rabbit corneal epithelial cells. E-cadherin and β-catenin staining was discontinuous in the eyes treated with commercial PG analogs and 0.02% BAK.
Rabbit corneas were fixed and stained with Texas red phalloidin. The images are representative of at least three independent experiments. Exposure to commercial PG analogs and BAK caused disruption of the cortical actin bundles of the corneal epithelial superficial cells. In contrast, the pattern of the cortical actin cytoskeleton of the corneal epithelial basal cells of the eyes treated with commercial PG analogs and BAK was similar to that of untreated eyes. SE: superficial epithelium, BE: basal epithelium.
