H19 knockdown decreases the formation of capillary-like structures.
HUVEC were transfected with an antisense LNA GapmeRs specific for H19 or with negative control. The ability to form capillary like structures was quantified by matrigel-assay 48h after transfection. (a) The bar graph shows a significant reduction of the number of branches upon H19 knockdown versus control (n = 9, ***p < 0.001). (b) Representative phase-contrast images of the organization into capillary-like structures are shown.
