Gene expression of TGFβ1 (A) and TGFβRII (B) in cardiac fibroblasts when seeded in collagen gels. The Gel and Gel/O2 groups were injected into the collagen gels respectively and cultured under normal condition or hypoxia (1% O2). Gene expression was measured 2 days after injection. TGFβ1 (5 ng/mL) was added into the medium during culture. *p < 0.05.
