Figure 7. VEGF-C treatment increases the number of adipose-derived stem cells.

Figure 7

(A) Counts of GFP-positive cells/HPF in various experimental groups. Note the increase in number of GFP-positive cells/HPF in animals implanted with Matrigel plugs containing ASCs stimulated with VEGF-C prior to implantation (***p < 0.001). (B-F) Representative florescent staining of GFP-positive cells (green) in various experimental groups as noted (20× magnification). Scale bars represent 50 μm. ASC: Adipose-derived stem cell; B-Gal: B-galactosidase; DN-RII: Dominant-negative TGF-β receptor II; GFP: Green fluorescent protein; HPF: High-powered field.
