Effect and Molecular Mechanisms of Jiedu Recipe on Hypoxia-Induced Angiogenesis after Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 3

Effect of JR on capillary-like tube formation under hypoxic condition. EA.hy 926 cells were treated with CoCl2 and JR for 16 h. (a) Inverted phase-contrast microscopy images of capillary-like tube formation and tubule branches marked out by Image J software (magnification of 100x). ((b)–(d)) Number of junctions, total segments length, and mean mesh size of the tube, respectively. Data are expressed as means ± S.D. vs. control group and vs. CoCl2 group.
