Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) (LONZA, Switzerland) were cultured in endothelial basal medium 2 (LONZA) supplemented with EGM-2 SingleQuots (LONZA) (2% o FBS) at 37 C in a humidified atmosphere of air containing 5% CO2. At subconfluence, the cells were removed from the tissue culture plate polystyrene (TCPS) by trypsin treatment. The concentration of the HUVECs was adjusted to 1104 cells/cm2 and the cells were seeded on o samples and cultured for 24 h at 37 C in a humidified atmosphere of air containing 5 % CO2. After the medium was aspirated, the substrate was softly rinsed three times with fresh PBS and placed in 2 % glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer (PB) for overnight at 4 oC to fix the adherent cells on the samples.
