The effect of H2O2 on DBMSC proliferation determined by the MTS assay. After 24 and 48 h and as compared to untreated DBMSCs, the incubation of DBMSCs with various concentrations of H2O2 ranging from 1 to 200 μM did not induce a significant change in their proliferation, (a and b) while their incubation with 50 and 100 μM of H2O2 for 72 h significantly increased their proliferation, (c). The incubation of DBMSCs with 400 and 600 μM H2O2 for the indicated time significantly decreased their proliferation as compared to untreated DBMSCs, (a and b). Experiments were carried out in triplicate using DBMSCs (passage 3) prepared from five individual placentae. Bars represent standard errors.
