Figure 7. Cardiac progenitor cell proliferation is increased by nucleostemin.
(A–H) Left and right panels correspond to control and nucleostemin-overexpressing CPCs, respectively. CPCs (A, E: c-kit, yellow) incorporate BrdU (A, E: red) and express the cell cycle protein Ki67 (B, F: green) and the catalytic subunit of telomerase (C, G: white). Merge of stainings (D, H). (I) Results are mean ± SD. *Indicates p<0.05 versus control.
