ADAR1 affects cell tube branching formation and permeability through FGFR2 during proliferation.

Notes: (A) Cell apoptosis rates detected by flow cytometry comparing treatment of FGF2 or vector in sh-ADAR1 cells. (B) Cell proliferation analysis using MTS assay under FGF2 treatment. (C) Knocking down of ADAR1 by two shRNAs increases cellular caspase-3 activity. (D) Western blot analysis of cell apoptosis related protein in sh-ADAR1 cells as well as rescued cells by FGF2. (E) Cell permeability measurement after FGF2 treatment. (F) Matrigel tube formation assay in the condition of ADAR1 inhibition with or without FGF2 treatment. Values are expressed as mean ± SE. *P<0.05, as compared to the control; #P<0.05, as compared to sh-ADAR1.

Abbreviations: ADAR1, adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1; FGFR2, fibroblast growth factor receptor 2; HUVEC, human umbilical vein endothelial cell; NC, negative control.
