Fate and Effect of Intravenously Infused Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Mouse Model of Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury and Resection

Figure 3

Liver regeneration. (a) Liver/body weight ratio 5 days after IRI and PH showed no significant differences between MSC or PBS treated mice. (b) After 6 and 48 hours after IRI and PH the numbers of PCNA positive cells were not significantly different. (c) Regeneration marker TGF-β showed significantly higher expression levels forty-eight hours after reperfusion in mice treated with PBS 2 hours before IRI and PH. The data are expressed as means ± SEM (() versus their PBS controls).
