From: Exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells induce the conversion of hepatocytes into progenitor oval cells
The MSC-CM-induced small oval cells expressed EpCAM and OC2. a Immunostaining of EpCAM, OC2, and albumin. b Quantitation of EpCAM-expressing cells by flow cytometry showed P1 (EpCAMhigh) and P2 (EpCAMlow) populations in the hepatocytes with treatment of MSC-CM and control medium. c The mRNA expression level of alpha fetoprotein, cytokeratin 19, and EpCAM in the P1 and P2 cells were analyzed by quantitative PCR.
