Transplantation of BM-MCs to Ret/PH models. a Liver and body weights of rats transplanted with BM-MCs were measured at 14 days after PH. Percentages of liver/body weight were shown. Bars are SEs. An asterisk indicates statistically significant differences, p < 0.05. b Photos of SHPCs clusters (yellow arrows) in hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining of control (left) and BM-MCs transplantation (right). Inset in the right side photo is an enlarged typical SHPCs (red square) shown in the livers with BM-MCs transplantation. Fine fat droplets (empty vesicles) are observed in the cytoplasm of SHPCs. Scale bars, 1 mm. The number of SHPC clusters per area (c) and area of the cluster (d) were measured 14 days after transplantation. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences, p < 0.05
