In vitro angiogenesis: endothelial cell tube formation on gelled basement membrane extract
Abstract
A protocol is presented here for a rapid, quantitative and reliable in vitro angiogenesis assay that can be adapted for high throughput use. Endothelial cells are plated on a gelled basement matrix, their natural substrate, and form capillary-like structures with a lumen. The assay can be used to identify inhibitors or stimulators of angiogenesis, as well as genes and signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis. It has also been used to identify endothelial progenitor cells. This assay involves endothelial cell adhesion, migration, protease activity and tubule formation. This tube formation assay is preferred, as other in vitro assays for angiogenesis, such as cell adhesion, migration and invasion, measure limited steps in the angiogenesis process. The tube formation assay on basement membrane can be completed in a day because transformed endothelial cells form tubes within 3 h, whereas non-transformed endothelial cells form tubes within 6 h.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
