Effects of FMNT on the growth and proliferation of HUVECs. (A) Chemical structure of FMNT. (B) Cytotoxic effect of FMNT (2.5–100 μM, 24 h) on HUVECs was evaluated by using a CCK8 assay. (C) Effects of FMNT (10, 20, and 40 μM, 24 h) on the proliferation HUVECs was evaluated using an EdU kit. The EdU-positive cells in each group were quantified as the percentage of the cells in control group. (D) Effects of FMNT (60, 80, and 100 μM, 24 h) on the apoptosis of HUVECs was assessed using an Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining detection kit. VEGF (40 ng/ml) was used as a positive control for endothelial growth and proliferation. The data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 compared with the control group.
