Figure Lengend Snippet: A , B Western blot analysis for CD141, CD31, VE-cadherin, LYVE1, FGFR2, ETV2, TNAP, αSMA, Transgelin, c-MET, and GAPDH in VMSCs and ADSCs and quantitative densitometry analysis using the NIH ImageJ program. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Values are mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001, n.s.: not significant, Student’s t test). Quantification of HGF ( C ), uPA ( D ), VEGF ( E ), and Angiogenin ( F ) in conditioned medium of VMSCs and ADSCs by ELISA. Values are mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, Student’s t test). G Tube formation assay of VMSC, ADSC, and a combination of VMSC and ADSC in a 2:1 ratio in the presence or absence of 500 pg/ml TNF-α. Scale bar: 500 μm. H Quantitative analysis of tube based on number of meshes, number of master segments, total master segments length, and number of isolated segments using NIH ImageJ angiogenesis analyzer. Values are mean ± SD of 4 independent experiments (*** P < 0.001; V (-TNF-α) VS. V (+TNF-α), $$$ P < 0.001; 2:1 (-TNF-α) VS. 2:1 (+TNF-α), # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01; n.s.: not significant, One-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. V: VMSC, A: ADSC.
Article Snippet: The cells were incubated with allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated antibodies against CD29, CD34, CD44, CD45, CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD141 (Miltenyi Biotec).
