BAEC on microcarrier beads exhibited sprout formation in response to exposure to 20-, but not 40-mmHg hydrostatic pressures. Images of BAEC on Cytodex beads suspended in collagen gels and maintained under atmospheric (control) pressure conditions (A) as well as exposed to either 20- (B) or 40- (C) mmHg hydrostatic pressures for 3 days; 2 representative images are provided for each pressure condition. Positive controls for these experiments were bead preparations of BAEC (1 image each) maintained under control pressures in the presence of either 2.5 ng/mL FGF-2 (D) or 2.5 ng/mL VEGFA (E) for 3 days. Images acquired under 110× magnification.
