Effect of T3 on selected angiogenic growth factor secretion by first trimester stromal-depleted (CD10−) and stromal-enriched (CD10+) cells

Data are normalized to 0 nM within each experiment and presented as mean ± SEM.
Ang-2 concentrations in CD10+ cells and fibroblast growth factor basic (FGF-basic), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase I (TIMP-1), intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) concentrations in both CD10− and CD10+ cells were above the manufacturer's standard curve limit. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) was below the detection limit in all samples and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) was only detectable in two or less samples per experimental set.
Ang-2, Angiopoietin-2; VEGF-A, vascular endothelial growth factor-A.
*P<0.05 compared with no T3 treatment (0 nM).
