Androgen Modulates Functions of Endothelial Progenitor Cells through Activated Egr1 Signaling

Figure 9

The in vitro incorporation assay of Egr1-silenced EPCs. Our data showed that Egr1-siRNA attenuated the boosting effects of DHT on the incorporation function of EPCs. (a) Incorporated DiI positive cells were indicated by arrows. (b) Number of incorporated cells into tube-like structures was counted and averaged. All assays were triplicated and demonstrated similar results. Data are presented in mean ± SD format. versus control group, versus control group.
