Angiogenesis-related protein expression after treatment with HA-CA and ADSCs. The expression levels of the angiogenesis-associated proteins (A) VEGFA and FGF-2, and (B) AKT1, p-AKT1, ERK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 were determined by Western blotting. Data are presented as means ± SEM relative to β-actin (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01; n = 4 per group). VEGFA, vascular endothelial growth factor A; FGF-2, fibroblast growth factor 2; AKT, protein kinase B; p-AKT, phospho-AKT; ERK1/2, extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2; p-ERk1/2, phospho-ERK1/2.
