Fig. 2From: Autophagy mediates the beneficial effect of hypoxic preconditioning on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for the therapy of myocardial infarctionEffect of hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) on the viability and paracrine mechanism of BM-MSC Fluc+GFP+. a Representative in vitro BLI results of BM-MSCFluc+GFP+ with HPC for 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h under normal conditions and after hypoxia/serum deprivation (H/SD). b The quantification of BLI assays. c MTT assay demonstrated the effects of HPC (0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h) on viability of BM-MSCFluc+GFP+. d ELISA assay demonstrated the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (d), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (e), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) (f), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (g) within BM-MSCFluc+GFP+ supernatants.
