Angiogenic activity of BMECs. a-b Representative images of the tube formation assay from the ONFH group and the control group. BMECs from the ONFH group did not form tube-like structures on Matrigel, but control group BMECs successfully tube-like structure. c Quantification analysis of total tube length of BMECs (** indicates P < 0.01). d-e Typical results of the transwell assay of the ONFH group and the control group at 6 h are shown. BMECs from the ONFH group had a lower proportion of spreading cells (violet-stained) compared to the control group. f Quantification analysis of number migration cells (** indicates P < 0.01)
