Detection of the changes of VE-cadherin in the lung tissue after mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) injection by immunofluorescence. a Intercellular junctions were evaluated by detection of the adherens junction protein VE-cadherin using fluorescence microscopy 24 h after MSC-ShHGF treatment (×200; blue, DAPI; green, VE-cadherin). b The quantitative result of VE-cadherin expression in the lung in different groups at 24 h after MSC injection. n = 6. *p < 0.05 vs. the control group; # p < 0.05 vs. the ALI group; & p < 0.05 vs. the MSC group. ALI acute lung injury, AU arbitrary units, DAPI 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, ShHGF hepatocyte growth factor gene knockdown
