The involvement of AQP1 in retinal neovascularization in the Ins2Akita and C57BL/6 mice. Immunofluorescence staining of retinal cross-sections for α-smooth muscle actin (ASMA) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for nuclei from D2.B6-Ins2 Akita (G-N) and sex- and age-matched (1 year-old) C57BL/6 non-diabetic control mice (a–f), after intravitreal injection of saline (sham, panels a, b g, h), or siRNA with scrambled sequence (siRNA-scr, panels c, d, i, l) or siRNA against AQP1 (siRNA-AQP1, panels e, f, n, m).
