EPC colony-forming assays. A Colonies of primitive, dense, small, round EPCs showed higher proliferation potential and were composed of immature EPCs. Scale bar: 100 μm. B Colonies of definitive, large, spindle-type EPCs showed more vasculogenic properties and were composed of differentiating EPCs. Scale bar: 100 μm. C Effects of rivaroxaban on the numbers of total EPC colonies, small EPC colonies, and large EPC colonies. EPC: endothelial progenitor cell; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide. Bars are means ± standard deviations of nine samples
