Biofunctionalization of Microgroove Surfaces with Antibacterial Nanocoatings

Figure 6

(a) Relative gene expression of vinculin in HGFs on different surfaces after 3 days of incubation. The results are expressed as a ratio of the quantified gene expression levels to the reference, β-actin, followed by a standardization of the expressions on the control surface. (b) Western blotting analysis showing the expression of cellular vinculin and protein quantity after 3 d of culture on various specimens. The data are presented as the ratio of the quantified protein expression levels to the reference, GAPDH, followed by a standardization of the expression on the control (, , and , , ).
