Different angiogenic abilities between EPCs isolated from different anatomic locations. ( A) EPCs from cord blood (CB-EPCs) migrate faster than those from adult peripheral blood (PB-EPCs). EPCs from different sources were subjected to Transwell cell migration assays, and migrated cells were stained (representative pictures are shown) and counted (left panel, n = 3). *:P < 0.05 ( B) CB-EPCs form better microvasculature structures in vitro. EPCs were subjected onto MatriGel for tube formation assays (representative pictures are shown). Tube lengths of formed microvascular structure were counted (left panel, n = 3). *:P < 0.05 ( C) Cell proliferation assays show CB-EPCs grow faster in vitro. Cultured EPCs were subjected into MTT assays for monitoring cell proliferation rate.
