Effects of kallistatin on VEGF- and bFGF-induced proliferation, migration, and adhesion of HMVECs.
(A,B) Quiescent HMVECs were incubated with the indicated concentrations of human kallistatin (HKBP) and VEGF or bFGF (15 ng/mL) for 24 hours. DNA synthesis was measured as [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Each value represents mean ± SEM (n = 4). (C) Cell migration was determined using modified Boyden chambers. VEGF or bFGF, 15ng/mL; HKBP, 1μM. Each value represents mean ± SEM (n = 3). (D) Cell adhesion was determined using fibronectin-coated plates. VEGF or bFGF, 15 ng/mL; HKBP, 1μM. Each value represents mean ± SEM (n = 4).
