Fig. 5From: Human decidua basalis mesenchymal stem/stromal cells protect endothelial cell functions from oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide and monocytesThe adhesion of HUVEC after removing the effects of DBMSCs and H2O2. HUVEC were initially cultured with DBMSC with 100 μM H2O2 for 48 h and then used in an adhesion assay using the xCELLigence real-time cell analyzer. After 2 h, the adhesion of HUVEC pretreated with H2O2 alone (HUVEC + H2O2) or with H2O2 and CMDBMSC (CMDBMSC + H2O2) or with H2O2 and SFDBMSC (SFDBMSC + H2O2) significantly increased as compared to untreated HUVEC while the adhesion of HUVEC pretreated with H2O2 and ICDBMSC (ICDBMSC + H2O2) reduced, but not significantly (P > 0.05). After 2 h and as compared with HUVEC pretreated with H2O2 (HUVEC + H2O2), the adhesion of HUVEC pretreated with H2O2 and SFDBMSC (SFDBMSC + H2O2) or ICDBMSC (ICDBMSC + H2O2) significantly increased and decreased, respectively. Each experiment was performed in triplicate and repeated with five independent HUVEC (passages 3–5) and DBMSC (passage 3) preparations. *P < 0.05. Bars represent standard errorsBack to article page
