Evaluating the Impact of Human Amnion Epithelial Cells on Angiogenesis

Figure 5

Gene expression of angiogenic factors in huVECs cocultured with preterm hAECs in the presence of TNFα and IFNγ. ((a), (b), and (e)) There was no change of gene expression of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and Tie-2. ((c), (d), and (f)) While gene expression of FOXC1 was also significantly reduced (), gene expression of PDGFRα and β was significantly increased ( and , resp.).
