Figure 2.
Statins and VEGF induce differentiation of CD34+ cells. (a) CD34+ cells were isolated and purity of CD34+ cell fraction was analysed by FACS. Isotype control is represented by a dotted line and CD34 by a solid line. (b) CD34+ cells were incubated with atorvastatin (AT; 1 μM) or VEGF (100 ng/ml) for 24 hours, and adherent DiLDL/lectin-positive cells were counted. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 4–7, *P < 0.05 versus control.
