Fig. 5

The effects of ethylene glycol tetra-acetic acid (EGTA) on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increased migration in atrial fibroblasts. Photographs and averaged data show the migration assay in VEGF-treated (1000 pg/ mL) atrial fibroblasts with or without EGTA (1 mmol/L). Upper panels show the initial scratch (baseline) in different groups. Lower panels show the images 6 h after the scratch was created (after migration) (n = 8 independent experiments). ***p < 0.005
