Fig. 2From: IGF-1 enhances BMSC viability, migration, and anti-apoptosis in myocardial infarction via secreted frizzled-related protein 2 pathwayBMSCs-IGF-1 protected H9C2 rat cardiomyoblast cells against hypoxia. H9C2 were co-cultured with BMSCs-NC, BMSCs-IGF-1, or control medium, and then exposed to hypoxia for 48 h. a Cell proliferation of H9C2 was determined by MTS assay. b, c Apoptosis of H9C2 was determined by Annexin-V-FITC staining. d Expression of BCL-2, BAX, and cleaved caspase-3 in H9C2 was determined by Western blotting. All assays were performed in triplicate (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)Back to article page
