The expression patterns of angiogenic and and proteins.

<p>(A) qRT-PCR was performed to measure the gene expression levels of HUVECs, HDFs, ADMs, and AMMs. Various cytokines were up-regulated in the AMMs compared with other cell groups. Individual values were normalised to GAPDH. <i>n</i> = 4 per group. ** <i>p</i><0.01 AMMs vs. ADMs, * <i>p</i><0.05 AMMs vs. ADMs,^‡<i>p</i><0.01 AMMs vs. HDFs, ^†<i>p</i><0.01 AMMs vs. HUVs. Abbreviations: HUV, HUVECs. (B) ELISA for IL-8 and EGF in the cell lysate and supernatant from AMMs, ADMs and HDFs. The amount of IL-8 and IGF-1 were markedly higher in the AMMs than other ADMs and HDFs groups. <i>n</i> = 4 per group. ** <i>p</i><0.01, * <i>p</i><0.05, AMMs vs. ADMs,^‡<i>p</i><0.01 AMMs vs. HDFs. (C) Comparison of the rate of cell apoptosis in response to SD. n = 5 per group. * <i>p</i><0.05 AMMs vs. ADMs, ^†<i>p</i><0.01 AMMs vs. HDFs.
