Effect of STB-HO on the viability and VEGF mediated proliferation of HUVECs. (A) Various concentrations of STB-HO were treated to HUVECs and cytotoxicity of STB-HO in HUVECs was measured by MTT assay. (B) HUVECs were exposed to STB-HO in M199 containing 1% heat-inactivated FBS, heparin (5 units/ml) and VEGF 10 ng/ml for 48 h, and the VEGF mediated proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. The absorbance was measured by ELISA reader. Data were presented as means ± S.D. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 compared with VEGF treated control. All samples were prepared in triplicates and the assay was repeated at least three times.
