Fig. 1. Biglycan and decorin induce morphological changes. Human lung fibroblasts were plated on four well chamber slides (10,000 cells/well) and incubated without (A) or with 10 µg/ml biglycan (B) or decorin (C) for 24 hours. After fixation cells were stained with Crystal Violet. (D) The ratio of the length versus the width of the cells. Values are given as means±s.e.m.; n=150; ^*significant differences of treatment compared with control.
