B Quantification of VEGF protein concentration (pg/ml). C Representative images of VEGF immunostaining. Cell nuclei stained in blue while VEGF stained in red. Scale bar = 100 μm. D Quantification of VEGF staining area (%). E CD31 gene expression. F Representative images of CD31 immunostaining. Cell nuclei stained in blue while CD31 stained in red. Scale bar = 100 μm. G Quantification of CD31 staining area (%). *** p < 0.001. ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. PCL-HA/H-E group
Article Snippet: For the VEGF inhibition experiments, 18 female SD rats in estrus were divided into the following three groups, with 6 rats in each group: PCL-HA/H-E group: PCL-HA electrospun carrier (1 × 10 6 H-EMSCs) was transplanted; PCL-HA/H-E/mø group: PCL-HA electrospun carrier (1 × 10 6 H-EMSCs + 0.25 × 10 6 mø) was transplanted; PCL-HA/H-E/mø/VEGF inhibitor group: PCL-HA electrospun carrier (1 × 10 6 H-EMSCs and 0.25 × 10 6 mø) was implanted, VEGF inhibitor (Axitinib (HY-10065, MCE), 100 mg/kg) was injected into the rat uterine cavity.
