Treatment of Hyperoxia-Induced Lung Injury with Lung Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Mice

Figure 5

VEGF expression in the lung of mice in different groups. The optical density of VEGF expression was 0.169 ± 0.008 in the air control group, 0.161 ± 0.007 in the hyperoxia + L-MSC group, and 0.149 ± 0.008 in the hyperoxia + PBS group. There was marked difference in the VEGF expression among the three groups (, ). The VEGF expression of L-MSC treatment (E and F) was higher than that of the hyperoxia + PBS group () but lower than that of the air control group () significantly. per group; dotted line: mean; .
