Doxycycline inhibits ILA in the cornea.

<p>(A): Animal model of ILA in the cornea. The four images represent a normal cornea (A1), a cornea marked with a circle (A2), a schematic diagram of the corneal sutures (A3) and post-operational corneal sutures (A4). (B): Representative images of LYVE-1-labelled corneal lymphangiogenesis in different groups. (C): Quantification of LYVE-1-labelled corneal lymphangiogenesis. **<i>p</i><0.01. The scale bars represent 300 µm. Abbreviations: ILA, inflammation-induced lymphangiogenesis; Doxy, doxycycline; LYVE-1, lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1.
