Ti–M–H coating promotes angiogenesis in vitro. (A) Live/dead images of endothelial cells (ECs) cultured on the sample surface for 1, 3, and 5 days. (B) The secretion of VEGF by ECs. (C) Quantitative: the number of nodes, branches, and tube formation formed in capillary-like networks after ECs were incubated in sample extract for 7 h. (D) Images of capillary-like networks by ECs incubated in SCMO for 4, 8, 12, and 16 h. (E) Quantitative: the number of nodes, branches, and tube formation after incubation for 4, 8, 12, and 16 h. (F) VEGF secretion after the ECs were incubated in SCMO for 8 days. *P < 0.05 compared with Ti–M. #P < 0.05 compared with Ti–M–H1. &P < 0.05 compared with Ti–M–H4. **P < 0.01 compared with Ti–M. ##P < 0.01 compared with Ti–M–H1. &&P < 0.01 compared with Ti–M–H4. The experiments were repeated three times.
