Coculture with BMSCs maintained the MMP of NPCs exposed to compression. (a) The MMP was analyzed by flow cytometry through JC-1 staining. (b) Summary data showing the quantitative MMP expressed as the ratio of red/green fluorescence intensity. (c) The representative fluorescence images of in situ JC-1 staining. CL means compression load. The data are expressed as mean ± SD from three independent experiments ( and versus control or NPC + BMSC + CL).
