Direct Cell-Cell Contact between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Endothelial Progenitor Cells Induces a Pericyte-Like Phenotype In Vitro
Figure 1
Cell culture setups. MSCs or depleted-MSCs were seeded with EPCs in transwell culture (a) or direct coculture (b). MSCs, depleted-MSCs, and EPCs were seeded in single cultures (c) as controls. All experiments were performed in the presence of IMDM-FCS (IMDM supplemented with 10% FCS) or IMDM-PL (IMDM supplemented with 5% FCS, 5% PL).
