MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 assayed activity on different gel rigidities. (a) Extracellular activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 from HSC conditioned media assayed by gelatin zymography. Signal intensity of the bands presented relative to 4 kPa sample. Data obtained from 6 independent experiments. Results are expressed as mean ± s.e.m. *Represents t test, p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (b) TIMP-1 activity assayed by reverse gelatin zymography. Signal intensity of the bands presented relative to 4 kPa sample. Data obtained from 6 independent experiments. Results are expressed as mean ± s.e.m. ***Represents t test, p < 0.001.
