Fig. 3. Lack of PKP1 increases migration rates in response to in vitro wounding.
Keratinocyte cell lines were seeded at high density and grown for 48 hours in
35 mm dishes prior to wounding. Time-lapse microscopy monitored migration over
24 hours and image analysis determined movement (µm/hour) between the given
time points. Graph represents mean±s.e.m. (*P<0.05) using
patient 1 (3-month-old male) and control 1 (31-year-old female) cells. Lower
phase images taken after 16 hours, Black line indicates wound edge at time 0.
Scale bar: 100 µm.
