Protein array analysis.

Notes: Custom-designed protein array membrane was used to determine the expression of different growth factors and cytokines. The protein array membranes were imaged using luminescence imager, and each spot with signal intensity was measured using a circular ROI. The ROI size was kept consistent from array to array and spot to spot, making the variation subtle. Protein array values normalized to corresponding positive control show differential expressions of proangiogenic and growth factors based on the schedules of treatments and the added drugs. Late treatment with HET0016 caused significantly increased expression of many factors.
