Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of PRPs treatments on HDMEC investigating: ( A ) Schematic representation of the experimental design with HDMEC. ( B ) Proliferation. WST-1 assay evaluated after 72 h of PRPs treatment. n ≥ 3 replicates. Data are expressed as % of 10% FBS control. ( C ) Migration. Number of HDMEC cells migrated into a scratch test after 64 h of treatment with PRPs. Data are obtained by constructing a reference area and counting the number of cells migrating within the area over time. n ≥ 3 replicates. ( D ) Circularity. A cellular shape descriptor, circularity, was measured on n ≥ 15 cells/condition. Circularity is in a range between 1 and 0, where 1 identifies completely circular cells, and 0 sharp cells. ( E ) Representative phase-contrast images of HDMEC cellular shape. Images are collected after 64 h of PRPs treatment. Scale bar 100 μm. ( F ) Gene Expression levels of specific EMT and normal endothelial markers. ACTA2 (αSMA), VWF, SELE and COL1A1 expression (2 -ΔCt ) in HDMEC fibroblasts evaluated by qPCR after 72 h of treatment with PRP. Different bar colours indicate the following conditions: black for 5% FCS, grey for 0.1% FBS, red for Aphe liquid, blue for BC liquid, pink for Aphe gel and light blue for BC gel. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Significance of data differences was established using unpaired Two-Way ANOVA test with multiple comparisons and simple t-test for the comparison between FCS 5% and FCS 0.1%. * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001.
