Publication protocol

The terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) kit (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) was employed to measure the apoptosis rate of each group. FLS were seeded into a 6-well plate and stained according to the kit instructions. The cell apoptosis was observed under a light microscope, and cells with brown particles in their nucleus were regarded as positive cells. Five fields were selected for cells in each glass slide with high power microscopes (400×). The numbers of apoptotic positive cell nuclei and total cell nuclei were separately counted. The apoptotic index (AI) was determined by the ratio of the number of apoptotic positive cell nuclei to the number of total cell nuclei. This experiment was repeated three times and the mean value was obtained.
