Fetal P-MSCs (fPMSCs) stimulated angiogenesis in vitro in HGF-dependent manner. (A) Tube formation by HUVECs cultured in P-MSCs medium, P-MSCs medium supplemented with 20 ng/mL rhHGF, maternal P-MSCs conditioned medium (mPMSCs cM), fetal P-MSCs conditioned medium (fPMSCs cM) and fPMSCs cM plus100 ng/mL anti-HGF antibody, respectively. Images are representatives of nine randomly chosen images for each culture condition (100x magnification). (B) The average number of tube structures formed in each group as counted from nine randomly chosen images under 40x magnification. **: P <0.01. HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; HUVECs, human umbilical vein endothelial cells; P-MSCs, placental mesenchymal stem cells; rhHGF, recombinant human growth factor.
