Microtubules Growth Rate Alteration in Human Endothelial Cells

Table 1

Quantitative analysis of areas occupied by dynamic and stable microtubules in different compartments of human EC.

Microtubules of interest	Area occupied by microtubules of interest, %
	Total cell area	Cell periphery
		10 𝜇m from the margin	5 𝜇m from the margin
β-tubulin stained microtubules	47.9±4.1	28.3±7.4^∗	15.7±6.6^∗
Acetylated microtubules	17.1±4.3	2.7±0.9^∗	0.4±0.3^∗
Tyrosinated microtubules	47.0±3.6	Not shown	Not shown

∗Significant difference from total cell area at 95% confidence level. Student’s 𝑡-test was used for statistical analysis.
