Effects of mechanical loading on the morphology, proliferation and migration of AFCs. AFCs were subjected to CTS at the magnitude of 0% (Ctrl), 2%, 5% and 12%, respectively, for 24 h. (A) Morphology of AFCs under different mechanical loading. Red indicates actin filaments and blue indicates nuclei. (B) Orientation analysis of AFCs under different mechanical loading conditions. (C) The cell cycle distribution of AFCs under different mechanical loading conditions. (D) The effect of mechanical stimulation on cell motility was examined using cell migration assay (*p<0.05 vs. Ctrl). The error bars indicate SD. N = 3.
