ST attenuated AngⅡ-induced HUVECs dysfunction. (A) Representative images and quantitative analysis of migration assay (HE stain, 100×). (B) Representative images and quantitative analysis of adhesion assay (HE stain, 100×). (C) Representative images and quantitative analysis of tube formation assay in vitro (200×). The number of tubular structures in the field represented the angiogenesis capacity of vascular endothelia. (D) Western blot analysis of eNOS and p-eNOS expression in control, AngⅡ and AngⅡ+ST groups. The data were presented in fold of control. (E) ELISA analysis of the level of NO in above three groups. (F) ELISA analysis of the level of ET-1 in above three groups. All data except ELISA analysis were shown as mean ± SD (error bars) from three independent biological repeats experiments, each of which included three technical repeats. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
