Figure 4From: Mesenchymal stromal cells reset the scatter factor system and cytokine network in experimental kidney transplantationMet expression in kidney of control and allografted rats on day 7. Groups are defined as in Figure 8. Upper panel: Met expression in representative renal sections of control and allografted rats on day 7. Panel A: normal kidney, Panel B: untreated allograft, Panel C: MSC treated allograft (Magnification X200). Middle panel: Bars represent the medians of Met positive tubules number/HPF in all groups of rats, boxes represent the 25-75% percentile, whiskers: min to max. §p < 0.001 vs B, § p < 0.005 vs A, * p < 0.005 vs C. Bottom panel: Western blot performed with anti-Met antibody in renal tissue of all groups of rats. The p170-kDa band represents pro-Met, the p140-kDa band represents mature Met β subunit.Back to article page
