Fig. 4From: Hepatocyte growth factor-modified hair follicle stem cells ameliorate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in ratsHFSCs and HFSCs/HGF suppressed inflammatory reaction. A–E Iba-1 staining in the penumbra at 7 days after cell transplantation. Scale bar = 100 µm. F The quantitative analysis of the numbers of Iba-1-positive cells. G Representative western blot bands of inflammation-related proteins in different groups. H and I Quantification of TNF-a and IL-4 expression in the ischemic hemisphere extracts. Values are the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 Saline group vs. Control group, #P < 0.05 HFSCs group vs. Saline group, ∆P < 0.05 HFSCs/HGF group vs. HFSCs/Vehicle group, n = 6Back to article page
