Figure 7. hUCMSCs improved the migration ability and angioplasty of Dex-treated BMECs. (A) Wound healing at 0, 12, and 24 h after Dex treatment. (B) Tube formation assay at 12 h after Dex treatment. (C) Scratch closure rate in three groups. (D, E) Total length and Total branching points in three groups. The data are presented as the means ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with the Con group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001, compared with the Dex group. Scale bars: 50 μm.
