Biochemical analysis of RASMCs cultured on samples with and without elastogenic factors. Shown are RASMCs density as determined from DNA content (A), collagen content determined with a hydroxyl-proline assay (B), and alkali-soluble (C) and alkali-insoluble matrix (D) elastin synthesis per cell as determined with the Fastin®; assay. Cells were cultured for 21 days (the study was replicated, n = 3 samples/condition/replicate and n = 6 samples/condition total). * indicates statistical difference from the samples with exogenous factors added, and # indicates statistical difference from the TCPS condition.
