TGFBI modulates vessel infiltration into Matrigel containing Ad-CM. Matrigel impregnated with either normal medium or Ad-CM was injected in WT and KO mice. Normal medium: DMEM-high glucose, 10% FBS, and 1% antibiotics. (a) Schematic of the Matrigel plug assay in WT and TGFBI KO mice treated with Ad-CM. (b) Representative H&E staining section of Matrigel from WT and KO mice (n = 3/group). Scale bars represent 100 μm. (c) The infiltrated vessels were counted in three Matrigel H&E-stained sections and expressed as the mean number. Significant differences were evaluated between two groups of experiments in the same condition (WT-NON versus KO-NON or WT-CM versus KO-CM). (d) Relative hemoglobin content of Matrigel plugs. The insert image represents Matrigel for each group. Data are presented as the mean ± s.e.m. **p < 0.01 versus control.
