a In vitro tube formation of ECs treated with rapamycin or si-Beclin-1 at 6 h. Scale bar = 20 μm. bf In vitro tube formation of EPCs at 6 h and quantification of total tube length, covered areas, total branching points, total loops, and total nets were measured by analytical software Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (IPP). g The expression of angiogenesis-related proteins VEGF and AngII of ECs were detected by western blot. h, i The expression of angiogenesis-related genes PCNA and VEGF of ECs were detected by RT-PCR.
