Figure 1From: Reciprocal interactions of mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and BV2 microglia after lipopolysaccharide stimulationMSCs inhibit BV2 microglia proliferation. MSCs and BV2 microglia were cocultured at ratios indicated below the graph, and BV2 proliferation was determined with 3H-TdR incorporation 48 hours after stimulation with 1 μg/ml LPS. Values are expressed as mean ± SD and from a representative of two independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, compared with respective controls. cpm, counts per minute; 3H-TdR, tritiated thymidine; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; MSCs, mesenchymal stem cells; SD, standard deviation.Back to article page
