Figure 4. Anti-integrin a2β1 and
anti-integrin a1β1 affect on mechanical creep properties of collagen
matrix. A: Typical extension-versus-time behavior of the
samples was shown, respectively. A constantly applied load of 0.03 N
for 600 s was subjected to each sample. B: Anti-integrin a2β1
and anti-integrin a1β1 acted on the final extension of the
HSF-populated collagen gel. C: Anti-integrin a2β1 and
anti-integrin a1β1 acted on creep extension of the HSF-populated
collagen gel. D: Anti-integrin a2β1 and anti-integrin a1β1
acted on the creep rate of the HSF-populated collagen gel. Results were
expressed as mean±SEM *p<0.01 versus CON;#p<0.01
versus
α2β1 (1 μg/ml) or α1β1 (1 μg/ml); †p<0.01 versus α1β1 (1
μg/ml) or α1β1 (4 μg/ml).
