Figure Lengend Snippet: The interaction between fibroblasts and endothelial cells in indirect coculture system. (a) CCK8 assay was performed to detect the viability of fibroblast ( n = 6). (b) Transwell ( n = 12) was performed to detect the migration of fibroblast. (c) Scratch assays ( n = 15) were performed to detect the migration of fibroblast. (d) ELISA results show that the levels of VEGF, TGFβ, PDGF, and bFGF in EC‐CM. (e) Scratch assays ( n = 15) and Transwell ( n ≥ 6) were performed to detect the migration of endothelial cells. (f) ELISA results show that the levels of VEGF, TGFβ, PDGF, and bFGF in SCF‐CM and HSF‐CM (* p < 0.1, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001 compared with control group; scale bar: 200 μm).
Article Snippet: Human skin fibroblast cell line (HSF, iCell) was cultured under 37°C in 5% CO 2 conditions in complete medium (DMEM + 10% FBS + 2% P/S).
