Transcription profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with VEGF-A

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries by sprouting from preexisting vessels, is mainly induced by VEGF-A. To identify genes which are induced by VEGF-A in endothelial cells, HUVEC were starved and induced by VEGF-A165 for 30, 60 and 150min. RNA of induced and uninduced cells was isolated and subjected to microarray analysis using Affymetrix microarray. Experiment Overall Design: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were grown in complete EGM-2 medium in dense culture for four days without change of medium and before the stimulation in EGM-2 medium without growth factors over night. The cells were stimulated with 100ng/ml VEGF-A165 for 30, 60 and 150 min. RNA was isolated with Trizol according to the manufacturer's instructions.
