Angiogenesis Assay according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were
seeded in a 96-well clear-bottom plate (Corning, Oneonta, NY) for 5 h and
exposed to test compounds for 3 days at 37 °C, 5% CO2. The tube
formation and cell viability of each well were acquired on an ArrayScan VTI
reader (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA) with a 5× objective and
488excitation/530emission filters to image the green
fluorescent protein (GFP)–expressing tubular structures and on a ViewLux plate
reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) using CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega, Madison,
WI), respectively.
