Effects of Endothelial Progenitor Cell-Derived Microvesicles on Hypoxia/Reoxygenation-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction and Apoptosis

Figure 1

Effects of serum deprivation (SD) alone and SD plus TNF𝛼 on EPC apoptosis, caspase 3, and miR126 expression. (a) Representative images showing EPC characterization of Bs-Lectin and Di-LDL double staining. Scale bar: 100 μm. (b) Apoptosis (Annexin V+PI−) of stimulated EPCs. (c) Caspase 3 expression in stimulated EPCs. (d) MiR126 expression in stimulated EPCs. *𝑃<0.05, versus control; ^#𝑃<0.05, versus SD; 𝑁=4/group.
