Figure 3. The circulating endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) number in DR and recipient DS rats.

Figure 3

EPCs were characterized by flow cytometry using double markers: CD34+/cKit+ (A), CD34+/VEGFR2+(B), cKit+/VEGFR2+ (C). There is no significant difference in EPCs markers including CD34+/cKit+, CD34+/VEGFR2+, or cKit+/VEGFR2+ among DR, normotensive or hypertensive DS rats. BMT from DR rats into DS rats significantly increased all EPCs markers in hypertensive DS rats (HS/BMT) but not in normotensive DS rats (NS/BMT). N=4–5. *P<0.05. ND: no significant difference.
