Red Yeast Rice Protects Circulating Bone Marrow-Derived Proangiogenic Cells against High-Glucose-Induced Senescence and Oxidative Stress: The Role of Heme Oxygenase-1

Figure 1

Characterization and morphology of PACs. MNCs were plated on fibronectin-coated plate on the first day (upper left). Late outgrowth PACs with cobblestone-like morphology were reseeded and grown to confluence (upper right). Immunofluorescence staining (green) of CD34, KDR, and CD31 for late outgrowth PACs. Cell nucleus was counterstained with propidium iodide (red). .
