Supernatant levels of different inflammatory mediators at 0, 24, or 48 hours of telocyte culture. There were significantly increased levels of VEGF and EGF (A). The proliferation rate of HPMECs was significantly increased after the co-culture with telocytes, as compared with those with PBS (P< 0.05, B). VEGF per se did not increase the proliferation of HPMECs significantly, while telocytes treated with mono-antibody against VEGF could significantly reduce the proliferation of HPMECs (P< 0.05, B).
