Figure Lengend Snippet: Lymphangiogenesis decreased significantly on POD3 in the process of liver regeneration following 70% PHx. A: Representatives of immunofluorescence co-staining of LYVE-1(red) and PDPN (green) in the liver on Sham, POD3, and POD7 groups (n = 5 per group, 5 biological replicates from 5 individual animals; original magnification 100X and 200X, scale bar: 100μm). B: Statistical analysis of LVs numbers in immunofluorescence staining. C: Statistical analysis of LVs area in immunofluorescence staining. D: The expression level of VEGF-C in the liver tissues was detected on Sham, POD3, POD7 groups via qRT-PCR (n=5 per group, 5 biological replicates from 5 individual animals). These results were obtained from at least three independent experiments. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗ p < 0.05, ns > 0.05.
Article Snippet: A suspension of human LyECs was loaded onto a 12-well plate (1×10 5 cells/well) and VEGF-C (0, 10, 50 ng/mL, Cat# HY- P74474 , MedChemExpress) with additional different concentrations was added to medium for 24h.
