CTEE effect on pAEC tube formation capability. pAECs were cultured on an extracellular matrix for 18 h with different concentrations of CTEE (25, 50, and 100 μg/ml). (a) Representative microscopic phase-contrast pictures showing capillary network in different treatment groups compared with control. Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) Number of master junctions in pAEC network. Data represent (). Different letters above the bars indicate significant differences ( ANOVA post hoc Tukey’s test).
