SVF cell sheets promote the expression of Ang-1 and VEGF in diced cartilage grafts (n=6). (A and B) Immunohistochemical analysis of Ang-1 and VEGF in diced cartilage grafts in each group. (C and D) Real-time quantitative PCR detection of Ang-1 and VEGF mRNA expression levels in diced cartilage grafts in each group. (E and F) Semiquantitative analysis of Ang-1 and VEGF protein expression in diced cartilage grafts in each group. (G) Electrophoresis images of Ang-1 and VEGF protein expression in diced cartilage grafts in each group (have been cropped, original gels are presented in Supplementary Fig. 2, Supplemental Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/SCS/H691). Compared with the Blank group: *P<0.05, **P<0.01; compared with the perichondrium group: # P<0.05.
