Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VEGFA gene. This protein is a glycosylated mitogen that specifically acts on endothelial cells and has various effects, including mediating increased vascular permeability, inducing angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promoting cell migration, and inhibiting apoptosis. VEGFA shows prominent activity with vascular endothelial cells, primarily through its interactions with the VEGFR1 and -R2 receptors found in prominently on the endothelial cell membrane. Thus, proliferation assay of recombinant human VEGFA was conducted using ECV-304 cells. Briefly, ECV-304 cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 2,000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard 1640 prior to the addition of various concentrations of VEGFA. After incubated for 48h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10µL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37°C. Proliferation of ECV-304 cells after incubation with VEGFA for 48h observed by inverted microscope was shown. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8 ) assay after incubation with human recombinant VEGFA for 48h. It was obvious that VEGFA significantly increased cell viability of ECV-304 cells. |
