From: Mechanical stimulation of human tendon stem/progenitor cells results in upregulation of matrix proteins, integrins and MMPs, and activation of p38 and ERK1/2 kinases

Figure 3

Integrin expression changes after mechanical stimulation of TSPC. (A) RT-PCR analysis of integrin alpha 3, 4, 5, 6 and V, and beta 1 and 3 in TSPC stimulated with 1, 5 and 8% strain for 1 and 3 days. (B) Quantitative PCR analysis for integrin alpha 1, 2 and 11 (fold change to the non-stimulated TSPC at day 1). Data is representative of 3 donors each used in 3 independent experiments; *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
