Figure 3From: C-reactive protein exerts angiogenic effects on vascular endothelial cells and modulates associated signalling pathways and gene expressionCRP induced tube-like structure formation in HCAEC. A, Representative images from control cells and cells treated with 1 ng/ml LPS or 1 μg/ml of detoxified CRP [CRPdt] for 24 h are shown. B, Bar graph showing tube length as a percentage of control. Experiments were performed at least twice by triplicate. ** indicates a statistically significant difference compared with the control (p < 0.001).Back to article page
