Fig. 4. Zymographic analysis of medium conditioned by MPCs (300,000 cells per
culture well) without (control) or with Ang-1 (0.5 µg ml-1),
Ang-2 (0.5 µg ml-1) or the Ang-1/Ang-2 combination (A). Bar
graph shows quantitative evaluation of gelatinase bands by densitometry (B).
Optical density values were normalized for the total protein content of each
sample. Notice that Ang-1 and Ang-2 used alone or in combination stimulated
MMP-2 production by MPCs.
