Cell stiffness of VSMCs from Ctrl and αvSMKO mice. (A) Elastic modulus values from non-treated EV (n = 122 values), non-treated αv-KD (n = 120 values), Ang II-treated EV (n = 64 values) and Ang II-treated αv-KD (n = 99 values) mouse VSMCs. (B) Simulated force-displacements curves for different values of cell membrane stiffness. (C) Simulated force-displacements curves for different values of cytoplasm stiffness. (D) Simulated force-displacements curves for an exponential variation in cytoplasmic stiffness.
