Figure 2

AFM micrographs of morphological changes in HCCs and NHs before and after CII at 24 h.

(A) Deflection image. (B) 3D image. (C–E) Cross-sectional profiles revealing the similarity of the geometric size changes between cell height and surface roughness (Ra and Rq) in six cell lines. (F) Visualization of the cytoskeletal architecture in HCCs and NHs before and after CII. Scale bar, 10 μm. (G) Relative densities of the cytoskeleton distribution determined using ImageJ software for HCCs and NHs before and after CII. The mean ± SD is shown. *P < 0.05, Student’s t-test.
