Examination of two different PDFs and two different buffers on PMCs. mRNA expression of αSMA (a), e-cadherin (b), collagen type 1 (c), and collagen type 3 (d). *P < 0.01 vs control, **P < 0.05 vs control,※P < 0.05 vs L-PDF, #P < 0.05 vs L-group, ##P < 0.01 vs L-group. In the L-PDF and L groups, αSMA, collagen type 1, and collagen type 3 mRNA expressions were enhanced and e-cadherin mRNA expression was decreased as compared with the control group. The B/L-PDF group and B/L group showed the same levels of expression of these genes as the control group
