From: Graphene quantum dots rescue angiogenic retinopathy via blocking STAT3/Periostin/ERK signaling
The possible mechanism of GQDs rescued angiogenic retinopathy. A GQDs inhibit the expression of periostin by downregulating p-STAT3. B Quantitative analysis of relative proteins expression. Data was presented as the means ± SD, n = 3 (**P < 0.01). C Representative confocal images of OIR model retinas after intravitreal injection with PBS and GQDs. Retinas were stained with IB4 (green), periostin(red) and p-STAT3 (blue). D GQDs inhibit the phosphorylation of ERK. E Quantitative analysis of relative proteins expression. Data was presented as the means ± SD, n = 3 (**P < 0.01)
