Potential of CAR macrophages to inhibit angiogenesis in vitro. Note: (A) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measurement of angiogenesis-related cytokine levels (pg/ml). (B) Matrigel tube formation assay using culture medium supernatant from the three groups of macrophages and Raji cell co-culture treated HUVECs, with F-actin marked in green fluorescence. A representative photo from one of three repeated experiments is shown. (C) Quantitative analysis and bar graph of the total length of capillary-like structures formed in the Matrigel tube formation assay. (D) Statistical analysis and bar graph of the number of tube-like structures formed in the Matrigel tube formation assay. Note: Quantitative data are presented as mean ± SEM, with p-values determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test, **, p < 0.01
