Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Number of HUASMCs on each surface. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01. ( B ) Fluorescence microscopy images of HUASMCs (red, αSMA; blue, nuclei; green, actin). Bars correspond to 50 μm. ( C ) Relative αSMA gene expression of HUASMCs on Day 7. The level of αSMA expression by HUASMCs cultured on glass was set at 1.0. ** P < 0.01.
