Figure 7. Micropatterning results in decreased TGFβR1 expression in VSMCs at passage 5.

Figure 7

(A) Representative blots of TGFβR1 for serum-starved non-patterned (N) and patterned (P) VSMCs at passages 1 and 5. (B) There was no significant difference in TGFβR1 expression at passage 1 for non-patterned (solid) vs. patterned (striped) VSMCs. At passage 5, TGFβR1 was significantly lower in patterned VSMCs compared to non-patterned. B shows mean ± SD for n = 3, where the non-patterned means are normalized to unity and patterned means are expressed as a relative change. * indicates significant difference for p < 0.05.
