Reactivity of human bronchial fibroblasts derived from asthmatic patients (AS HBF) to an electric field. (A–D) The quantitative parameters that defined the migratory activity and orientation of AS HBF compared to NA HBF both without and in the presence of a direct current electric field (dcEF) of physiological magnitude (2–4 V/cm) which were applied for 8 h. (A) Speed of cell migration; (B) cell displacement; (C) directionality of cell migration; (D) orientation of the long axis in relation to EF lines. Mean values for the cell population (n = 50) ± SEM. * statistically significant differences between AS and NA (p < 0.05).
