Effect of AFSC therapy on apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in cisplatin-injured kidney. Representative immunofluorescence photomicrographs showing TUNEL-positive cells (green, indicated by white arrowheads) in the cortical region of the kidney tissue of a healthy control, b saline-treated group (day 8), c AFSC-treated group (day 8), d saline-treated group (day12), and e AFSC-treated group (day 12). The sections were co-stained with LTL (red) to mark the proximal tubule and Hoechst for nuclei (blue) (scale bar, 30 μm). f Quantification of TUNEL-positive cells in kidney sections of saline-treated and AFSC-treated groups on day 8 and day 12 after cisplatin injection. Values expressed as mean ± SE (*p < 0.01)
