Interleukin-6 from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Promotes Tissue Repair by the Increase of Cell Proliferation and Hair Follicles in Ischemia/Reperfusion-Treated Skin Flaps

Figure 5

IL-6 in ADSCs promoted flap recovery through the increased cell proliferation in IL-6 KO mice. (a) Representative photographs of skin flaps with or without ADSC treatment on postoperative day 5 of I/R in IL-6 KO mice. (b) Flap sections were immunostained with anti-PCNA antibody. . (c) The rectangles in (b) are magnified and shown in (c). . (d) Histogram showing the number of proliferating cell under HPF. versus the IL-6 KO I/R group.
