From: Putative endothelial progenitor cells do not promote vascular repair but attenuate pericyte–myofibroblast transition in UUO-induced renal fibrosis

Fig. 3

pEPCs did not improve UUO-induced capillary rarefaction. a GFP-pEPCs tracking (green) showed exogenous pEPCs located in the renal interstitium in the cortex and the cortico-medullary junction, surrounded by CD31-positive (red) endothelial cells. b, c Western blotting, IHC and IF showed that UUO led to significant endothelial cell damage, and pEPC treatment did not improve capillary rarefaction. The data are presented as the mean ± SD; n = 5/group. **p < 0.005; ns, no significant difference. Scale bar, 20 μm
