Fig. 2From: Hypoxia alleviates dexamethasone-induced inhibition of angiogenesis in cocultures of HUVECs and rBMSCs via HIF-1αOIM inhibited HUVEC angiogenesis. a Angiogenesis experiment on Matrigel. Monocultured HUVECs (HUVECs alone group) or cocultured HUVECs and MSCs (coculture group) in EGM and OIM. After 6 h, photos were taken under a fluorescent inverted phase contrast microscope. b The streaked plate assay was used to test the migration ability of HUVECs in OIM or EGM. c Growth curve of HUVECs in OIM and EGM. d HUVECs were cultured in OIM or EGM, and the cell cycle distribution of HUVECs was detected by flow cytometry after 48 h. *p < 0.05, compared with HUVECs in EGM. n = 3Back to article page
