CRNDE knockdown inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and tube formation. (A) CRNDE knockdown reduces wound closure in HUVECs. CRNDE was treated with CRNDE shRNA (shCRNDE) or non-targeting control shRNA (shNT) for 24 h before wounding. Images were taken from fixed cells 12 h after wounding. Representative images of 3 independent experiments were shown. Scale bars are 500 µm. (B) Quantification of wound closure, *p = 0.027. (C) CRNDE knockdown reduces tube formation. HUVECs were treated as in a before being seeded into Matrigel-coated wells. Images were taken from fixed wells after 6 hours. Representative images of 3 independent experiments were shown. (D) Quantification of tube length in millimeters *p = 3.2 * 10−6. (E) Quantification of number of segments (*p = 9.9 * 10−4) and number of nodes (*p = 6.5 * 10−4).
