MSCs’ effect on cytokine-exposed rat islet’s superoxide dismutases 1 and 2. a, c Transcripts were measured by RT-PCR and values were normalized on HPRT. b, d Quantitative analysis of proteins normalized with Ponceau S staining of the whole lane. e SOD activity was determined using the pyrogallol assay. Data are representative of six independent experiments for RT-PCR analysis and eight for western blot analysis and SOD activity. Data are represented as median ± interquartile (ANOVA; *p < 0.05 vs. respective controls and #p < 0.05 vs. cytokine-exposed islets alone)
