Effects of Different Intervention Factors on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Induced Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cell Migration

Figure 3

The effect of VEGF on ASMC migration was detected by wound healing assay. (1) The red auxiliary line indicates the scratch healing area of the control group and VEGF (40 ng·ml⁻¹) group at 0, 12, and 24 h. (a) A representative picture. (b) Bar graph shows the healing rate of scratches in the control and VEGF groups at 12 and 24 h. (c) Broken line diagram shows the scratch healing rate of the control and VEGF groups at 0, 12, and 24 h, which is statistically significant between the groups (). (2) The red auxiliary line is the control, VEGF 20 ng·ml⁻¹, and VEGF 40 ng·ml⁻¹ groups (24 h). (d) A representative picture. (e) A histogram of the control, VEGF 20 ng·ml⁻¹, and VEGF 40 ng·ml⁻¹ groups’ (24 h) wound healing rate. , ^#; the difference between groups was significant ().
