Time courses of circulating levels of creatinine and blood urine nitrogen (BUN) and ratio of urine protein to urine creatinine (Ra-Up/Uc). A Circulating level of BUN at day 0, p > 0.5. B Circulating level of BUN at day 1. C Circulating level of BUN at day 5. D Circulating level of creatinine by day 0, p > 0.5. E Circulating level of creatinine at day 1. F Circulating level of creatinine at day 5. G Ra-Up/Uc by day 0, p > 0.5. H Ra-Up/Uc by day 5. n = 8 or 12 for each group. * indicates p value  < 0.05; ** indicates p value  < 0.01; *** indicates p value  < 0.001; **** indicates p value  < 0.0001. G1 = (sham-operated control); G2 = sepsis syndrome (SS) + acute kidney ischemia–reperfusion (AKIR); G3 (SS + AKIR + ciprofloxacin administered at 3 h after SS-AKIR induction); G4 [SS + AKIR + iPS-MSCs by intravenous injection at 3 h, after SS-AKIR (i.e., defined as early treatment)]; G5 [SS + AKIR + iPS-MSCs by intravenous injection at 18 h after SS-AKIR (i.e., defined as late treatment) after SS-AKIR induction]; G6 [SS + AKIR + ciprofloxacin and iPS-MSCs at 3 h after SS-AKIR induction]. iPS-MSCs = induced pluripotent stem cells-derived mesenchymal stem cells
