The migratory behavior of cardiac endothelial cells can be regulated by small molecule and growth factor treatment. (a) Fluorescence images at 4 and 16?h after scratching in the presence or absence of VEGF or Paclitaxel as indicated. (b) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell free area covered by endothelial cell migration in 12?h. Control cells were treated with DMSO, and in all cases, cell free area at 4?h after scratch was considered as 100% (n?=?3, mean?±?SEM). One way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni?s post-hoc test (GraphPad Prism) was performed to evaluate statistical significance of differences. P?<?0.05 was considered statistically significant. ** corresponds to P?<?0.05.
