Inhibition of Rho kinase pathway modulates morphology and function of intestinal fibroblasts: (A) Gap closure assay and morphology of migrating intestinal fibroblasts isolated from three individual Tl1a-Tg mice, in the presence (or absence) of 25uM ROCK inhibitor Y27632, shown as treated and un-treated pairs. Blue arrow denotes direction of migration with solid vs dotted line highlighting cell extensions at migrating front; upper panels 100× objective, lower panels 200× objective. (B) Collagen contraction assay of intestinal fibroblasts isolated and treated as in (A). (C) Collagen contraction assay of WT or DR3/ intestinal fibroblasts treated with 100 ng/mL mouse recombinant Tl1a, 25uM ROCK inhibitor Y27632, or both. Data normalized to genotype control with bars representative of means; * indicates p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
