Hypoxia delays scratch wound repair and tube formation in ECFCs. The ECFCs were grown in 21 and 1% O2. Cells were photographed at the time of scratch and at 12 h post wounding. a Representative images of scratch wound at time zero (0 h) and 12 hours (12 h). Bars indicate the boundaries of the scratch measured at each time point. b Percentage migration 12-h post scratch. Each condition was compared separately and the percentage migration calculated for 21% O2 (empty bars) or 1% O2 (filled bars). Data plotted as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (n = 4)
