Oxidant effect of H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide) on the adhesion of HTM cells to ECM proteins results in a rearrangement of cytoskeletal structures that may lead to TM disruption. a Untreated HTM cells, b HTM cells 0 min after treatment with H₂O₂ (400 μM for 15 min), c HTM cells after 1 h since H₂O₂ treatment, d HTM cells after 3 h since H₂O₂ treatment.
