Fig. 2From: Prostaglandin E1 reduces apoptosis and improves the homing of mesenchymal stem cells in pulmonary arterial hypertension by regulating hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alphaA The PGE1-induced VEGF secretion from MSCs was proportional to the PGE1 concentration. B PGE1 treatment increased the protein levels of Bcl-2 and CXCR4 in MSCs, with the strongest effect observed upon treatment with 10 ng/mL PGE1 (P < 0.05).
