| Abstract | Tube formation by endothelial cells (EC) is a one of the key factors involved in initial revascularization during the tissue regeneration process. Several previous studies suggested that EC tube formation can be regulated by the stiffness of the culture substrate and immobilization of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, the roles of substrate stiffness and chemical signals involved in network formation are unclear. In this study, the effects of substrate rigidity and immobilized VEGF concentration on EC tube formation were examined. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured on rigidity-controlled polyacrylamide (PAAM) gels coated by L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine), or L-DOPA-Hep (heparin). The HUVECs were cultured on various amounts of immobilized VEGF on the L-DOPA-Hep-coated PAAM (5, 10, and 25 ng). We found that HUVECs formed more tube-like structures when they were cultured on the more rigid substrates, from 1.5 kPa to 144.1 kPa compared to the soft substrate. We also compared various amounts of VEGF immobilized on various rigidity substrates to determine if there was an effect on the tube area of HUVEC. Moreover, we determined an appropriate concentration of VEGF immobilized with various rigidity substrates for vascular tube formation. These findings suggest that there is a synergistic effect of substrate rigidity and chemical signals. Thus, it is possible to combine therapies to synergistically promote an in vitro model of revascularization. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
