Fig. 3. VEGFR1high pulp stem cells generate more capillary sprouts than VEGFR1low cells in vitro.

Fig. 3.

Cells were sorted for VEGFR1 expression levels and then plated in plates coated with growth factor reduced Matrigel. (a,b) Representative photomicrographs (bar: 100 μm) of capillary sprouts generated by VEGFR1high, VEGFR1low, or unsorted DPSC and SHED cells cultured in vasculogenic differentiation medium for up to 11 days. (c,d) Bar graphs showing the number of capillary-like sprouts at the end of the experimental period (i.e. 11 days). Different low case letters indicate statistical significance at p<0.05. Number of capillary sprouts (average +/− s.d.) is representative of 12 random microscopic fields from triplicate wells per condition.
