Pretreatment of Adipose Derived Stem Cells with Curcumin Facilitates Myocardial Recovery via Antiapoptosis and Angiogenesis

Figure 1

Immunophenotype characterization of ADSCs and cytoprotective effects of curcumin pretreatment on ADSCs. (a) Expressions of cell phenotypes. CD90 and CD105 are positive. CD31, CD34, and CD45 are negative. (b) Trypan blue exclusion analysis showed cell viability was improved by curcumin pretreatment. (c) Quantitative analysis of LDH production in the cell supernatant revealed curcumin pretreatment reduced cells injury. ((d) and (e)) Representative Annexin V/PI staining showed curcumin pretreatment prevented apoptosis of ADSCs (). (f) Curcumin pretreatment protected ADSCs against H2O2/SD induced caspase-3 activation (). .
