Fig. 4

Representative images of capillary-like tubes formed by non-injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) or in the presence of high glucose (HG) plus indoxyl sulfate (IS) injury and either Control-MSC conditioned medium (cm) or DKD-MSCcm. Images were acquired at 40× resolution and were not enhanced. (A). Quantification of total number of tubes among groups (B). Selectin E (SELE), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) (C) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (D) mRNA expression levels in HUVEC. ns, not statistically significant (p > 0.5); other non-significant p values (p > 0.05) are shown in this figure given trends in the relationships
