The mRNA expression of angiogenesis-related genes detected by real-time RT-PCR.

<p>All the data represented the relative fold change of mRNA expression of the genes of interest. Gene expression in the mice corneas 14 days after alkali burn was significantly lower in the high-dosage drug group: the expression levels were VEGFR1 38.46%, VEGFR2 45%, bFGF 47.97%, IL-1β 12%, IL-612%, MMP-2 41%, IL-1β 48%, MMP-9 14.94%, and MMP-13 4.37% of those in the control group.(n = 7, *<i>p</i><0.05; **<i>p</i><0.01).
