Diacerein Inhibits Myopia Progression through Lowering Inflammation in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cell

Figure 2

Diacerein affects expression levels of inflammation-related proteins in MFD hamsters. (a) Immunohistochemical analysis of TGF-, MMP-2, and type I collagen expression in MFD control eyes (right eye MFD), 1% atropine-treated MFD eyes (right eye atropine), and 10 mM diacerein-treated MFD eyes (right eye diacerein). INL: inner nuclear layer; ONL: outer nuclear layer. (b) Immunohistochemical analysis of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 expression in MFD control eyes (right eye MFD), 1% atropine-treated MFD eyes (right eye atropine), and 10 mM diacerein-treated MFD eyes (right eye diacerein). INL: inner nuclear layer; ONL: outer nuclear layer. ANOVA was used for paired comparisons between control, atropine (1%), and diacerein (10 mM). The data are expressed as of three independent experiments. compared to the control levels.
