Morphology, viability, proliferation, and size of mesenchymal stem cells. A: Representative micrographs showing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) and primed umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (PUC-MSCs). Microscopy observation of cell morphology revealed that UC-MSCs were elongated after hypoxia and inflammatory factor pretreatment (Bar = 200 μm); B: The DNA concentration was measured by an ultramicro nucleic acid protein detector. The DNA concentration of PUC-MSCs was not significantly different from that of UC-MSCs, and pretreatment had no effect on their proliferation; C: Cell viability was determined by an acridine orange (AO) propidium iodide (PI) staining cell image analyzer, and no significant difference between UC-MSCs and PUC-MSCs was observed; D: Cell size was determined with a cell imaging analyzer, and the sizes of the UC-MSCs and PUC-MSCs were comparable. dP > 0.05.
