[Retracted] The Favorable Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment on the Antioxidant Protective Mechanism in the Corneal Epithelium and Renewal of Corneal Optical Properties Changed after Alkali Burns

The ability of cells to differentiate into adipocytes was characterized microscopically ((a) upper: undifferentiated cells; lower: cells in differentiation medium). Expression of genes for immunoregulatory molecules by BM-MSCs, Ad-MSCs, and LSCs (b). The cells were cultured for 48 hours unstimulated or stimulated with LPS and the expression of genes for IDO, TGF-β, and Cox-2 was determined by real-time PCR. Each bar represents the mean ± SD from 5 determinations.
