A vial of pooled Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) (Lonza, USA) were expanded in tissue culture flasks up to Passage 5 using Endothelial Basal Medium 2 (EBM-2) culture medium (Lonza, USA) supplemented with the Endothelial Growth Medium-2 (EGM-2) Bullet Kit (Hydrocortisone, human fibroblast growth factor (hFGF)-2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), R3-insulin-lke growth factor (IGF)-1, ascorbic acid, human epidermal growth factor (hEGF), Gentamicin & Amphotericin (GA-1000), and Heparin) and 2% FBS. HUVECs were used for experimentation at Passage 6.
Ebm 2 culture medium
The EBM-2 culture medium is a sterile liquid product used for the in vitro cultivation of mammalian cells. It provides the necessary nutrients and growth factors to support the growth and proliferation of various cell types in a controlled laboratory environment.

Endothelial Cell Culture and Transfection
Endothelial cells were plated on glass-bottom coverslips coated with 0.2% gelatin and transfected at 70–80% confluency using X-tremeGENE HP DNA transfection reagent according to manufacturer’s protocol (Roche). For adenoviral infection, endothelial cells were exposed to the adenoviral particles overnight and were used for live-cell imaging at 24–72 h after infection. The procedure was handled according to National Institutes of Health safety guidelines for materials containing BSL-2 organisms. Cells were treated with 20 µM cRO or 10 µM blebbistatin (Toronto Research Chemicals) for 10 min before experiments.

Placenta-Derived Exosomes Promote Angiogenesis
Example 8
Human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) at passage 3 or 4 were plated in 48-well microtiter dishes at a density of 28,000 cells per well. Cells were maintained in 0.5 mL of either PBD or EBM-2 culture medium (Lonza) on GRF-Matrigel for 3 days. HUVECs were then incubated with different concentrations of placenta-derived adherent cell exosomes isolated from either serum-containing (“growth exosomes”) or serum-free (“SF exosomes”) placenta-derived adherent cell cultures. HUVEC growth patterns, including node formation and tube segment length (surrogates for angiogenic potential) were monitored every two hours for 18-19 hours total. HUVEC growth parameters were determined using IncuCyte live cell imaging system (Essen BioScience) and quantified using ImageJ.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
