Figure 6 Capillary‐like tube formation by choroidal endothelial cells. Choroidal endothelial cells were cultured on Matrigel and exposed to different treatments. (A) Photographs demonstrating tube formation are representative of results after 48 hours stimulation. (a) Control; (b) VEGF‐A 50 ng/ml; (c) VEGF‐C 50 ng/ml; (d) VEGF‐A 50 ng/ml + VEGF‐C 50 ng/ml; (e) VEGF‐A 50 ng/ml + glucose 15 mM; (f) VEGF‐C 50 ng/ml + glucose 15 mM. (B) The graph depicts quantification of tubular length (mm/mm2) at different time points and different conditions. (C) The graph depicts a low dose VEGF‐C induced capillary‐like tube formation by choroidal endothelial cells at different time points. Vertical bars represent SEM from at least three experiments.
