Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Ameliorate Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Rats via Secreting Tumor Necrosis Factor-Inducible Gene 6 Protein

Figure 4

Scr levels and renal histology at 3 days after renal ischemia in IRI-AKI rats with different treatments. A significant decrease in Scr levels (a) was found in BMSC group compared to those in IRI-AKI group or DMEM group. Renal pathological lesions (b, c) in BMSC group were alleviated. (b) H&E staining, original magnification 400×. (c) Kidney injury score. Group with symbol versus other three groups with symbols #, ##, or ###, all P<0.05; group with symbol ### versus groups with symbol # or ##, both P<0.05; group with symbol # versus group with symbol ##, P>0.05.
