Gene expression analysis by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. (A) Relative quantification of endothelial markers vWF, CD146, KDR, and CD31; (B) relative quantification of the hematopoietic marker CD45 and Cav-1; and (C) relative quantification of the endothelial precursor cell markers CD34 and CD133 depicted for LCC and HCC and their respective culture protocols. Gene expression was analyzed 28 days after the isolation and statistically evaluated by Student's t-test with *p ≤ 0.05 and **p ≤ 0.03.
