Figure Lengend Snippet: a Representative fluorescence images of Ki67 staining of HUVEC cells after different treatments (green: Ki67; blue: cell nucleus, Scale bars = 20 µm). b Quantitative analysis of Ki67+ cells. Data represented as Mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. c Relative cell viability of NIH/3T3 cells co-cultured with D-CuP solution and M-CuP solution for 24 h. Data represented as Mean ± SD (n = 4 independent replicates, ns not significant). Statistical significance was assessed using two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. d Representative images of tube formation assay in HUVEC cells stained with calcein-AM (green) (Tube: yellow arrow, Scale bars = 400 µm). e Quantitative analysis of total tube length. Data represented as Mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. f The concentrations of VEGF were determined by ELISA. Data represented as Mean ± SD (n = 3 independent replicates). Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. g Representative images of transwell migration assay of L929 cells (Scale bars = 200 µm). h Quantitative analysis of total tube length. Data represented as Mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. i Images of L929 cells scratch experiment after incubating with D-CuP or M-CuP at different times (Scale bars = 100 μm). j Cell scratch healing rates at different times. Data represented as Mean ± SD (n = 3 independent replicates). Statistical significance was assessed using two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
