Stretch-dependent effects on Lamin A/C and Prelamin A in human aortic smooth muscle cells. Human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) were grown to confluence and following a change of complete medium were then exposed to 20 hours stretch (15% elongation, 1 Hz) followed by 20-hours relaxation. Protein lysates were prepared at 6, 12, 20, 24, 32, and 40 hours. Panel A. Time-course of changes in Lamin A/C expression. Panel B. Time-course of changes in Prelamin A expression relative to β-actin in SMCs. Data are representative of three experiments (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
