Fig. 4From: Intravitreal administration of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells triggers a cytoprotective microenvironment in the retina of diabetic miceDonor mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) remain in the eye at least until 12 weeks after their administration. Twelve weeks after STZ administration, diabetic mice received an intravitreal dose of 2 × 105 MSCsGFP in 2 μL saline. On days 1, 4, 8 and 12 weeks later, the presence of donor cells was assessed in the eye by flow cytometry. a Events in gate R1 represent GFP+ cells. b Data were quantified, and the dotted line represents the detection limit. c Presence of donor cells in the eye was also corroborated by immunofluorescence. Qualitative data are representative of eight eyes per analyzed time. Quantitative data correspond to mean ± SEM of eight eyes per analyzed time.
