Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of rexinoid treatment on macrophage gene and protein expression in the desiccation stress dry eye model and potential macrophage-derived IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling axis. ( A ) Heatmaps showing z -score–scaled expression of selected latent-time–associated genes in four treatment groups (NS, None [untreated], Veh, and NEt-3IB) in conjunctival monocyte/macrophage lineage cells sorted from CD45⁺ cells after 5 days of desiccating stress (DS5) ( P adj < 0.001). Genes are organized into five functional categories. The color scale represents z -scores of normalized expression ( blue , low; red , high). These data show desiccating stress–associated shifts in macrophage gene programs and their modulation by NEt-3IB, including enrichment of reparative and growth factor–related genes such as Igf1 . Full gene names for the abbreviations are provided in . ( B ) Representative flow cytometry histograms and quantification validating selected macrophage-associated markers in conjunctival immune cells. ( Left ) Representative histograms of CX3CR1 staining with fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) control, with corresponding quantification of the percentage of CD45⁺CD11b⁺CX3CR1⁺ cells. ( Right ) Representative histograms of IGF-1 staining with FMO control, with corresponding quantification of the percentage of CD45⁺CD11b⁺Mrc1⁺IGF-1⁺ cells. Compared with DS5 no treatment and DS5+vehicle controls, DS5+NEt-3IB increased the proportion ofx CX3CR1⁺ and Mrc1⁺IGF-1⁺ myeloid cells. Each dot represents one biological replicate; bars show mean ± SEM. Statistical significance is indicated as shown: ** P < 0.01; **** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001; ns, not significant. ( C ) Representative immunofluorescence images showing IGF-1R/WGA/DAPI staining of wholemount conjunctiva showing surface view ( top ) and βIII-tubulin/IGF-1R/DAPI staining in the cornea ( bottom ). IGF-1R localization is shown because IGF-1 is produced by ocular surface resident macrophages, suggesting a potential macrophage-derived IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling axis acting on ocular surface epithelial and neural compartments during DS. Scale bar : 100 µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 6 Schematic illustration of the main findings in the present study. Subcutaneous administration of rhIGF-1/rhIGBP-3 to preterm rabbits (E29), results in a higher level of IGF-1 in serum and CSF at postnatal age at administration of 0 h compared to 24 and 72 h. This is in turn correlated with an increased IGF-1R activation in the ChP at a postnatal age of 5 h, and expression of genes involved in the ChP development. Stimulating ChPE cells with rhIGF-1/ rhIGFBP-3 or rhIGF-1 results in an activation the IGF-1R and an increase in protein synthesis involved in ATP production and mRNA processing
