Fig. 5From: A decellularized flowable placental connective tissue matrix supports cellular functions of human tenocytes in vitroExpression of phenotypic markers in tenocytes cultured on connective tissue matrices over time. The relative expression of tenocyte phenotypic markers (i.e., SCX, TNC, COL1A1, COL3A1, DCN) in tenocytes cultured on A-CTM, I-CTM, and TCP for 2 and 7 days is shown. The relative expression (fold) was compared to the mRNA level in tenocytes on Day 0 (starting cells). Data are plotted as a bar graph (A) and as a heat map (B). Data shown are mean ± SD (n = 4 for cells on connective tissue matrices, n = 3 for cells on TCP). A *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.005. B *p ≤ 0.05, compared with A-CTM; t p ≤ 0.05, compared with TCP; ŧ p ≤ 0.05, compared with day 2.
