Figure 5. Effect of hATMSCs infusion on interstitial fibrosis in rats with chronic CsA nephropathy.

Figure 5

(A) Representative photomicrographs of trichrome staining. The CsA group showed typical striped interstitial fibrosis, and extracellular matrix deposition in the cortex (Original magnification x200). (B) Quantitative analysis of tubulointerstitial fibrosis. CsA administration increased tubulointerstitial fibrosis compared to VH and it was not reduced by treatment with hATMSCs. hATMSCs; human adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells.
