Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were purchased from Promocell, grown, and expanded in endothelial growth media-2 (EGM-2, Promocell, Germany). Primary human saphenous vein pericytes (SVP) were kindly donated from Prof Madeddu (University of Bristol) and cultured in EGM-2. SVP were grown and expanded in flasks or 35 mm dishes pre-coated with 0.1% fibronectin (Merck, United States) and 0.05% gelatin (Merck, United States) solution. Cells were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2, passaged at 80% confluency and used up to passage 8 for experiments.
