Figure 6. R50E suppresses FGF1- and FGF2-induced angiogenesis (branching formation) in CAM models.

Figure 6

Saline- or FGF- impregnated filter disks are placed on blood vessels in otherwise avascular sections of CAM (day 11) to induce angiogenesis. The disks and underlying CAM tissue (day 13) are then harvested. Neovascularization was then scored by counting vessel branches present in the CAM tissue below the filter from digital images. a) and b) Quantification of dose response. Five ng/ml is optimum, c) Suppression of FGF1-induced angiogenesis by excess R50E. d) Suppression of FGF2-induced angiogenesis by excess R50E. The data suggest that R50E suppresses FGF1- and FGF2-induced angiogenesis in the CAM model. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA plus Tukey analysis.
