(A) Tube formation assay with hASC and HF conditioned media. Statistical analysis (α=0.05) proved significant shorter tube lengths of “conditioned medium (CM) of hASC-seeded 45S5 Bioglass®-based scaffolds” compared to “CM of hASC seeded hernia meshes” and “CM of hASC monolayer” [A, *(a)]. “CM of hASC seeded hernia meshes” and “CM of hASC monolayer” showed equal tube lengths [A, *(b)]. “CM of HF on 45S5 Bioglass®-based Scaffolds,” “CM of HF-seeded hernia meshes and “CM of HF (monolayer)” showed no significant differences (A, **). (B) Quantification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in these hASC conditioned media showed a matching trend: “hASC seeded on 45S5 Bioglass®-based scaffolds” showed significant less VEGF secretion into the cell culture medium than “hASC seeded on hernia meshes” and “hASC (monolayer)” [B, *(a)], whereas “hASC seeded on hernia meshes” and “hASC (monolayer)” [B, *(b)] showed equal VEGF secretion rates. “HF seeded on45S5 Bioglass®-based scaffolds,” “HF seeded on hernia meshes” and “HF (monolayer) showed similar VEGF secretion rates (B, **).
