VEGF Induces Differentiation of CD34+Cells Into Endothelial Colonies

Peripheral Blood Bone Marrow Cord Blood Fetal Liver
VEGF  4 ± 3  0  5 ± 3  4 ± 2 
VEGF/bFGF  2 ± 1  7 ± 2  4 ± 2  6 ± 4 
VEGF/bFGF/IGF-1  4 ± 2  10 ± 3  5 ± 3 20 ± 5  
bFGF/IGF-1  0  0  
Peripheral Blood Bone Marrow Cord Blood Fetal Liver
VEGF  4 ± 3  0  5 ± 3  4 ± 2 
VEGF/bFGF  2 ± 1  7 ± 2  4 ± 2  6 ± 4 
VEGF/bFGF/IGF-1  4 ± 2  10 ± 3  5 ± 3 20 ± 5  
bFGF/IGF-1  0  0  

CD34+ (1 × 105 cells) cells were plated in the presence of VEGF (10 ng/mL), bFGF (1 ng/mL), and IGF-1 (1 ng/mL). After 20 days the number of vWF positive colonies was quantified.
