Growth factors in hAM CCM.
<p>Forty-one growth factors were quantitated by antibody array and the obtained values were combined into following growth factor families: EGF family (EGF-2, HB-EGF, EGF-R); FGF family (bFGF, FGF-4, FGF-6, FGF-7); Hematopoietic factors HF (MCSF, MCSF-R, SCF, SCF-R); IGF family (IGF-1, IGF-2, IGF-1SR); IGFBP family (IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4, IGFBP-6); Neurotrophic factors NF (bNGF, GDNF, NT-3, NT-4); PDGF family (PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB, PDGF-BB, PDGF-Ra, PDGF-Rb); TGF family (TGF-α, TGF-β, TGF-β2, TGF-β3); Vasculogenic factors VF (PLGF, VEGF, VEGF-R3, VEGF-D, VEGF-R2); some growth factors are presented separately: AR; G-CSF; GM-CSF; HGF. Each growth factor fluorescence value (FV) was measured and calculated as described in Materials and methods. (n = 4) (p < 0.05).</p
Effect of hAM CCM on HUVECs migration assayed by scratch test.
<p>There are results of 160 measurements, 8 independent assays with 10 measurements for test and control each. Median values and (P25, P75) are shown (n = 8, p < 0.05). Detailed description of the assay is in Material and methods.</p
The example of real time migration assay of stimulated and controlled HUVECs directly from the X-Celligence system.
<p>The assay was repeated seven times with similar result during 25h observation at 37<sup>°</sup>C. The difference between migration curves for cells in cultures with presence of hAM CCM and in control medium was significant. (p < 0.05).</p
Effect of hAM CCM on chemotaxy indeks of BM MNCs.
<p>The chemotaxy index (CI) after 2.5 h at 37<sup>°</sup>C incubation time was calculated by dividing the number of cells in lower chamber by the number of cells added to the upper chamber counted at the start of the test. Median values and interquartile range (P25, P75) are shown (n = 12, p < 0.05).</p
Effect of hAM CCM on HUVECs expression of cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) marker.
<p>Significantly lower expression is observed in presence of hAM CCM. Median values and interquartile ranges (P25, P75) are shown (n = 3, p < 0.05).</p
