Expression of the angiogenic factors MMP9, VEGFA, and TGFB1 was measured by qPCR in M2-induced iMG cells. Fold changes were measured using the ΔΔ Ct method. The relative expression (fold change) of MMP9, TGFB1, and VEGFA was significantly upregulated in M2-induced iMG cells in MMD. (p values are schematized as follows: * < 0.05; ** < 0.01).
