Figure Legend Snippet: (A) Lectin blots demonstrating that alteration in transcript levels of glycosyltransferases in healing corneas is associated with corresponding changes in glycan structures of glycoproteins. Protein extracts (5 μg) of normal (N) and healing (H) corneas were electrophoresed on 10% SDS–polyacrylamide gels; protein blots of the gels were stained with Ponceau S to ensure equal loading of samples and were then probed with biotinylated E-PHA, DSL, and MAA that recognize glycan products of GnTIII, GnTIV, and α2,3-sialyltransferases, respectively. Note that consistent with the increased mRNA levels of GnTIVb and α2,3-sialyltransferases (ST3GalI and ST3GalIV) and the reduced mRNA level of GnTIII detected in the healing corneas by microarrays (Table I) and qRT-PCR (Table II), the increased expression of DSL- and MAA-reactive glycoproteins and the reduced expression of E-PHA-reactive glycoproteins is detected in healing corneas compared to normal, uninjured corneas. (B) The intensity of lectin-reactive bands from the lanes of normal and healing corneal samples from each lectin blot was quantified by densitometry. A value of 1.0 was assigned to the intensity value of the lectin-reactive components of normal corneas. The intensity values of the lectin-reactive components of healing corneas are expressed as a change in the intensity value with respect to normal corneas.
