Induced tube formation of HUVECs by conditioned medium from Syncytin-1-knockdown and control trophoblasts. (A) Schematic of tube formation by using HUVECs co-cultured with conditional supernatant from trophoblast cells. (B,C) Tube formation pictures were taken at 2 h after cultured with conditional medium from control and HERV-W siRNA-transfection cells. (D–I) Parameters for assessing the ability of tube formation. (J–O) Relative mRNA and protein expression levels of PLGF, VEGF and sFlt-1 in cells and cellular supernatant from control and HERV-W siRNA-transfected cells. (P,Q) Relative protein expression of sFlt-1/VEGF and sFlt-1/PLGF. **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001.
