Enhanced collagen gel contraction of KSS fibroblasts depends on increased LOX expression. NHF and KSS fibroblasts were incubated for 24 hours in the presence of the LOX inhibitor BAPN (10 mmol/L). Then, cells were harvested and seeded into collagen gels and the area of the gels was determined at the various depicted time points. Shown is the relative gel area of the equivalents. Data are means ± SEM of three independent experiments with pooled results for both NHF and KSS equivalents. Statistically significantly different compared with KSS control, *P < 0.05. Statistically significantly different compared with NHF control, #P < 0.05.
