Figure 5 Effect of nonmuscle myosin II inhibition on hepatic stellate cell migration.
Culture-activated hepatic stellate cells (Day 3) were transiently transfected with siRNA targeted to all nonmuscle myosin (NMM) II permutations (NMM II-A, II-B,II-A & II-B) or scramble siRNA and incubated for 48 h. A plate scrape model of migration was used to simulate liver injury. After 24 h, migration was calculated as change in wound (gap) diameter over time. Top panel: representative micrographs. Bottom panel: Migration assay quantification. (aP < 0.05 as compared to scramble).
