Figure 2. Effect of various concentrations of phloroglucinol on the migratory activity of EPCs in a wound healing assay.

Figure 2

(A) Ex vivo cultured outgrowth ECs were subjected to a wound healing migration assay. Bar: 500 µm. EPCs were wounded and treated with 100 ng/ml of VEGF with or without 20 ìM or 100 ìM of phloroglucinol or a vehicle. (B) Bar graph represents the number of migrated cells. Fields were chosen randomly from various section levels to ensure objective sampling. In response to phloroglucinol, the VEGF-induced migratory activity of EPCs was significantly decreased.
