From: Nanometric self-assembling peptide layers maintain adult hepatocyte phenotype in sandwich cultures
Expression of CYP3A2 of in sandwich cultures of self-assembling peptide scaffolds and PTFE membranes. Comparison of CYP3A2 gene expression relative to freshly isolated hepatocytes at day 7 by quantitative PCR with previous results from Collagen sandwiches and RAD16-I sandwiches [31], and the performed in this manuscript with PEEK-WC-PU membranes and PTFE membranes. Particularly, cultures YIG (PTFE) and MIX (PTFE) are significantly different from RAD16-I (PTFE) with p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively. Data is presented as mean ± SD (with statistical significances indicated as * for p < 0.05 and *** for p < 0.001).
