Vertical migration of fibroblasts. (a) Control group (×100); (b) model group (×100); (c) tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) group (×100). Compared with control group, the vertical migration of cells decreased by 21.4% in model group. After treatment with TIMP1, the vertical migration of cells increased compared with that in model group but failed to recover to the level of control group.
