Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Western blots for HOXA5 in WT and Thy-1 KO iHLFs cultured on 5kPa PDMS hydrogel or TCP following stimulation with 20μM SRC specific inhibitor KB SRC 4 or 10μM pan-SFK inhibitor PP2 for 6h. Quantification of HOXA5 normalized to loading control was plotted as a ratio of normalized signal relative to DMSO vehicle control. Mean ± S.D. plotted; N = 3 (Thy-1 KO -5kPa and WT-1GPa) or N = 4 (WT-5kPa and Thy-1 KO -1GPa) independent experiments; WT-5kPa and WT-1GPa = 1-way ANOVA with post-hoc uncorrected Fisher’s LSD test, Thy-1 KO -5kPa and Thy-1 KO -1GPa = non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc uncorrected Dunn’s test. Tests chosen based on data distribution and variance. ( B ) Western blots for HOXA5 in WT and Thy-1 KO iHLFs cultured on 5kPa PDMS hydrogel or TCP substrates coated with αV-promoting (Fn 4G ) or α5-promoting (Fn 9*10 ) peptide fragments of the 9–10FnIII integrin binding site. Quantification of HOXA5 normalized to loading control was plotted as a ratio of normalized signal relative to full length human Fn (Fn Full ) control. Mean ± S.D. plotted; N = 3 (WT-5kPa, WT-1GPa, and Thy-1 KO -5kPa) or N = 4 (Thy-1 KO -1GPa) independent experiments; WT-5kPa = 1-way ANOVA with post-hoc uncorrected Fisher’s LSD test, Thy-1 KO -5kPa = Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA with post-hoc unpaired t-tests with Welch’s correction, WT-1GPa and Thy-1 KO -1GPa = non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc uncorrected Dunn’s test. Tests chosen based on data distribution and variance. For all statistical tests: ns = p > 0.05; p < 0.05 (*); p < 0.01 (**); p < .001 (***); p < .0001 (****).

Article Snippet: After allowing for adhesion, cells were stimulated with 1% FBS DMEM containing 20μM SRC inhibitor KB SRC 4 (Tocris) or 10μM pan-Src Family Kinase (SFK) inhibitor PP2 (Tocris) for periods of 3h or 6h.
