Fig. 1From: Tumor necrosis factor α in aGVHD patients contributed to the impairment of recipient bone marrow MSC stemness and deficiency of their hematopoiesis-promotion capacityaGVHD MSCs showed impaired self-renewal capacity. a Serial CUF-F experiments and b secondary sphere formation experiments were performed. Bar in Fig. 3a upper row represents 5 mm. Bar in a lower row represent 200 μm. c The number of CFU-Fs and d cell spheres in aGVHD group was remarkably decreased relative to their counterparts in non-aGVHD group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, n = 5. e mRNA expression and f protein level of Oct-4 and Sox-2 were lower in aGVHD MSCs. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, compared with that of non-aGVHD MSCsBack to article page
