EPCs transplantation decreased brain infarct volume and attenuated neurological impairment after tMCAO in diabetic mice. A Representative photographs of brain coronal sections with Cresyl Violet staining of the sham, PBS-treated and EPC-treated diabetic mice after 12 h and 24 h of tMCAO. B Bar graph represents the quantification of the infarct volumes in the sham, PBS-treated and EPC-treated diabetic mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 6–8 per group. * p < 0.05, EPC-treated vs. PBS-treated mice. C Bar graph shows the mNSS in the sham, PBS-treated and EPC-treated mice. Data are mean ± SD, n = 10–12 per group. * p < 0.05, EPC-treated vs. PBS-treated mice. EPC endothelial progenitor cell, PBS phosphate-buffered saline
