EI, endothelial index; NEI, nonendothelial index; WT, wild type; Exp, experiment.

*

Total number of nuclei counted.

Percentage of replicating cells as determined by labeling with the mitotic marker phosphohistone H3.

Number of nuclei with PECAM-labeling along the cell border.

F1-153

Nuclei of cells that did not exhibit PECAM-labeling.

F1-155

Formula used to express each endothelial index as a percentage of its companion nonendothelial index.
