Effects of BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs on cholinergic myenteric neurons. a-d′ Cholinergic (ChAT-IR) neurons in the myenteric plexus at 24 a-d and 72 h a′-d′. Scale bar = 50 μm. The total number of ChAT-IR neurons e and the proportion of ChAT-IR neurons to the total number of HuC/D-IR neurons f were quantified within a 2 mm2 area of the myenteric plexus in the guinea-pig colon. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, n = 4 animals/group/time point. BM-MSCs bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, AT-MSCs adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, ChAT choline acetyltransferase, IR immunoreactive
