Tubule formation analysis of HUVECs grown with CD271+ AD-MSCs. CD271+ AD-MSCs were grown with HUVECs for 16 h. Light microscopy reveals tubule formation (a). Staining the CD271+ AD-MSCs with CFSE (b) co-cultured with RFP-HUVECs (c) revealed co-localisation along the tubules (d, inset). Average tubule length, average number of tubules, and average number of anastomoses were measured after growing HUVECs with either CD271+ AD-MSCs or CD271− AD-MSCs, and data was normalised to HUVEC-only control (e–g). n = 6
