The effect of H2O2 on colony formation ability of DBMSCs. (a) After 14 h in culture photomicrographs showing representative examples of a colony forming unit of DBMSCs preconditioned (Pre-DBMSC) with 50 and 100 μM H2O2 or untreated DBMSCs. (b) As compared to control DBMSC, the number of colonies of DBMSC preconditioned (Pre-DBMSC) with 100 μM H2O2 significantly increased () while the number of colonies of DBMSC preconditioned (Pre-DBMSC) with 50 μM H2O2 increased, but not significantly, . Experiments were carried out in triplicate using DBMSCs (Passages 3) prepared from five individual placentae. Bars represent standard errors.
