Figure 2From: C-reactive protein exerts angiogenic effects on vascular endothelial cells and modulates associated signalling pathways and gene expressionCRP stimulated BAEC proliferation. The effect of 1–5 μg/ml CRP (non-detoxified and detoxified CRP [CRPdt]) for 72 h on BAEC proliferation is shown. Experiments were repeated at least twice in triplicate wells. * and ** indicate a statistically significant difference compared with the control cells (p > 0.05 and 0.001 respectively).Back to article page
