Cytokines and growth factors in N-ADSCs. ELISA showed that the levels of cytokines and growth factors, including VEGF, b-FGF, HGF, TNF-α, PDGF, EGF, IGF-1, and Netrin-1, were upregulated in N-ADSCs as compared to ADSCs; *P < 0.05. ADSC, adipose-derived stem cell; N-ADSC netrin-1-transfected ADSC; VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor; b-FGF, basic fibroblast growth factor; HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-alpha; PDGF, platelet-derived growth factor; EGF, epidermal growth factor; IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-1
