Effects of exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 on chondrocytes. (A) [35S]-sulfate incorporation of chondrocytes treated with recombinant human VEGF-A and FGF-2, (B) caspase-3 activity of chondrocytes treated with recombinant human VEGF-A and FGF-2, and (C) [3H]-thymidine incorporation of chondrocytes treated with recombinant human VEGF-A and FGF-2 after 24 hours of treatment (n = 6 ± SE). *P < 0.05 vs. control; #P < 0.05 vs. adipose stem cells (ASCs).
