Collagen gel contraction (CGC) by control and CADASIL VSMCs. (A) Representative images of contracted collagen gels by control and CADASIL VSMCs. The gels contained 12.5 × 103 cells/well and were cultured for 24 h before assessing gel contraction. Control VSMCs contracted spontaneously collagen gel markedly more than CADASIL VSMCs. (B) Quantification of CGC by control and CADASIL VSMCs. Columns indicate the mean of 4 replicated assays and capped bars indicate standard deviation (SD). Statistically significant difference between normal and CADASIL VSMCs is indicated by asterisk (**P< 0.01, unpaired Student t test).
