Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Cervix and Age: New Insights into CIN Regression Rate

Figure 6

Detection of secreted cytokines in yC-MSCs and oC-MSCs by ELISA before (a) and after cocultures with HeLa cells (b). (a) Level of secretion of selected cytokines referred to inflammation detected in MSCs from young (yC-MSCs) and old (oC-MSCs) cervixes. Data, expressed in pg/ml, are means ± SD from analyses performed on three separate experiments. (b) Histograms displaying the levels of the same cytokines detected after indirect cocultures with HeLa cells for 72 hours. The level of each cytokine is shown as % (mean ± SD from three independent experiments) of the level detected in control HeLa cells. for HeLa/yC-MSCs or HeLa/oC-MSCs versus HeLa and for HeLa/yC-MSCs versus HeLa/oC-MSCs.
