Characterization and transfection efficiency of EPCs and the effect of miR-126 overexpression on the proliferation ability of EPCs and hypoxia-injured EPCs. (a) Representative pictures showing cultured EPCs under transmitter light and fluorescent light by double-staining analysis. Red: Di-acLDL uptaking; green: Bs-Lectin staining; yellow: Di-acLDL and Bs-Lectin positive cells as EPCs. Scale bar: 400 μm. (b) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-126 expression in EPCs after lentivirus-miR-126 transfection. (c) MTT assay of EPC proliferation. versus EPCNC; versus control, /group.
