Quantification of flow cytometry analyses from CN NSCs—divided into AVCN, PVCN, and DCN. (a) Quantification of propidium iodide cytometry populations: G2/M, S, and G0/G1 phase. The significantly largest proportion of cells in the G0/S1 phase was determined in the DCN, and the smallest proportion in the AVCN. There were no significant differences between the fractions in the S phase. The largest proportion of cells in the G2/M phase was found in the AVCN, and the smallest in the DCN. (b) Quantification of the G2/M phase population and the proportion of anti-phospho-histone-H3-positive cells. Within the G2/M phase populations, the PVCN showed the significantly largest proportion of cells in which the mitotic marker phospho-histone-H3 was stained positively. The smallest share was in the AVCN. The bar graphs demonstrate the median values; asterisks indicate the significance level: , , , and ; .
