Fig. 6From: LINC00659 exacerbates endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction in deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities by activating DNMT3A-mediated FGF1 promoter methylationInterference with FGF1 reversed the facilitative effect of LINC00659 inhibition on endothelial progenitor cell migration and angiogenesis. LINC00659 siRNA and FGF1 siRNA were transfected individually or together into EPCs. A Western blotting was applied to determine the levels of EIF4A3 in EPCs transfected with FGF1 siRNA or/and LINC00659 siRNA (n = 6). B The cell proliferation of EPCs transfected with FGF1 siRNA or/and LINC00659 siRNA was tested by CCK-8 assay (n = 6). C Transwell detection of the cell migration of EPCs transfected with FGF1 siRNA or/and LINC00659 siRNA (n = 6). D Tube formation assay was employed to check the effects of LINC00659 siRNA or/and FGF1 siRNA on EPC angiogenesis (n = 6). E-F Effect of LINC00659 siRNA or/and FGF1 siRNA on actin cytoskeleton structure in cultured EPCs (n = 4). Each experiment was repeated for 3 times. **P < 0.01.Back to article page
