Scr levels and renal histology at 3 days after renal ischemia in IRI-AKI rats treated with BMSC after different pretreatments. A significant increase in Scr levels (a) was found in IRI-AKI rats treated with TSG-6 silenced-BMSC. Renal pathological lesions (b, c) in IRI-AKI rats treated with TSG-6 silenced-BMSC were more severe. (b) H&E staining, original magnification 400×. (c) Kidney injury score. Group with symbol versus groups with symbol ### or Δ, both P<0.05.
