Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Secreted by Hypoxia Cardiac Fibroblasts Triggers Cardiac Stem Cell Migration In Vitro

Figure 7

CSCs migration number after adding antagonists. Each of these factors partly participated in the migration process. Compared to the group that was added with cocktail antagonist against all four factors, the number of migration cells in the group that was added with MMP-9 antagonist and MMP-9/2 antagonist shows no significant difference. Results were shown as the mean ± SD values. Experiments were repeated three times. indicates compared to the hypoxia 24 h group. indicates compared to the hypoxia 24 h group. # indicates compared to the group added with the cocktail of all antagonists. ## indicates compared to the group added with the cocktail of all antagonists.
