Gene expression of GEnCs encapsulated within hydrogels after 1, 7, and 12 days in culture. (A) PECAM1 encoding for platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule or CD31. (B) CDH5 encoding for cadherin 5 or vascular endothelial cadherin. (C) ICAM2 encoding for intercellular adhesion molecule 2 or CD102. (D) MMP14 encoding for matrix metalloproteinase 14 or MT1-MMP. (E) KDR encoding for kinase insert domain receptor or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. (F) TEK encoding for tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin-like and EGF-like domains 2 or TIE2. (G) TIE1 encoding for tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin-like and EGF-like domains 1 or TIE1. (H) PTPRB encoding for receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase beta or VE-PTP. (I) VWF encoding for von Willebrand Factor. (J) PLVAP encoding for plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein. (K) EHD3 encoding for Eps15 homology domain-containing protein 3. (L) EHD4 encoding for EH domain-containing protein 4. (M) ITGA3 encoding for integrin subunit alpha 3. (N) ITGB1 encoding for integrin subunit beta 1. Values are expressed as fold-change in expression normalized to gene expression of GEnCs cultured on tissue culture polystyrene on day 0. Number of independent measurements, n = 4. Statistical significance denoted by: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.
