Aquaporin-1 Expression in Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy and in Epiretinal Membranes
Figure 5
Correlation analysis of cells expressing AQP1, αSMA, and GFAP. All the cells labelled with DAPI, AQP1, αSMA, and GFAP, with two labels (AQP1/GFAP or AQP1/αSMA), were counted and expressed as mean ± S.E.M. . All the combinations between the variables explored are shown in each graph, where dots represent the mean numbers of cells labelled in each membrane for the investigated variable. Straight lines on each graph represent the best fit linear regression and do not reflect Spearman rank correlation. indicates the coefficient of determination, CC is the Spearman correlation coefficient, and is the statistical level of significance. Spearman correlation tests were performed using IBM-SPSS statistical software.
