Ischaemia/reperfusion-induced kidney damage on D7. a AQP2: immunoblots and densitometric analysis of samples from control (n = 2), IRI (n = 4) and IRI + huMSC (n = 4) rats, on D7. b Representative light microscopy of periodic acid–Schiff staining and proportional acute tubular damage and mean renal damage scores in IRI and IRI + huMSC rats, on D7 (magnification, ×4). c Photomicrographs and bar graphs showing CD68-positive cells (arrows) in the tubulointerstitium in IRI and IRI + huMSC rats, on D7 (magnification, ×40). d Photomicrographs and bar graphs showing CD3-positive cells (arrows) in the tubulointerstitium in IRI and IRI + huMSC rats, on D7 (magnification, ×40). a p ≤ 0.05 vs control. b p ≤ 0.05 vs IRI + huMSC. huMSC human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cell, IRI ischaemia/reperfusion injury, AQP2 aquaporin
