iBMECs exhibit a more activated phenotype on CN IV-FN compared to LN 511-E8. a–c Fold change in gene expression level for ANGPT1, ANGPT2, and VWF (a), various MMPs (b), and ECM proteins (c) for iBMECs on LN 511-E8 relative to iBMECs on CN IV-FN. * indicates P < 0.0005, ** indicates P < 0.001, # indicates P < 0.05, and ## indicates P < 0.01 via unpaired t-test compared to CN IV-FN for each gene. d, e Wound healing assay to assess migration of iBMECs on LN 511-E8 and CN IV-FN. d Representative images of the cells immediately after and 9 h after the ibidi wound healing culture inserts were removed from the plates. Cell-free area is outlined in red. Scale bars indicate 500 μm. e Quantification of percentage of the initial wound area that has closed after 9 h for each condition. # indicates P < 0.05 compared to CN IV-FN
