COL6 enhances lung epithelial cell wound repair.(a) Representative images of wound-healing response for 16HBE cells plated on COL6, Matrigel, or COL1. (b-c) Quantitation of wound width at 10 hr post-injury (relative to 0 hr) for 16HBE(b) and NHBE(c) plated on individual matrices, or combinations of matrices. N = 9, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001. Fig 2. PMID: 30550606.

COL6 promotes lung epithelial cell spreading.(a) Representative images of initial, post-adhesion spreading for 16HBE human lung epithelial cells 3 hours after plating cells on COL6, COL1 or Matrigel. Arrows show examples of spread cells. (b-d) Quantitation of the percentage of cells spread 3 hours after plating on different matrices for 16HBE (b), NHBE (c), or PHLE (d) cells. N = 6.* p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001. Fig 3. PMID: 30550606.
