Figure 2From: H-RN, a peptide derived from hepatocyte growth factor, inhibits corneal neovascularization by inducing endothelial apoptosis and arresting the cell cycleEffect of peptides on the migration of HUVECs stimulated by VEGF. HUVECs were pre-incubated with different concentrations of peptides in the upper chamber for 30 min before stimulation with VEGF (100 ng/ml) in the lower chamber. After incubation for 24 h, the migratory activity of cells was estimated. H-RN inhibited migration of HUVECs. Scrambled peptide did not inhibit migration up to 1 μM.
