Reconstitution of Kidney Side Population Cells after Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Self-Proliferation and Bone Marrow-Derived Cell Homing

Figure 3

Proliferation of SP cells in the ischemic kidney after IRI. ((a) and (b)) Proliferation of the SP and non-SP cells in the ischemic (a) and nonischemic (b) kidney after IRI. Fractions of S-G2M kidney SP and non-SP in sham-operated and IRI animals were obtained by propidium iodide staining. versus sham. (c) Effect of hypoxia and SD alone or a combination of both on cell proliferation in vitro. The cells without both hypoxia and SD stimulation were used as controls. versus control; versus hypoxia; versus SD; versus SP.
