Systemic administration of hMSCs or TSG-6 delayed the onset of diabetes in NOD mice. A and B: Diabetes incidence. Negative, HBSS infused (n = 10) at 10 and 11 weeks of age; hMSCs at 14 and 15 weeks, hMSC infused (2 × 106, n = 10) at 14 and 15 weeks of age; hMSCs at 10 and 11 weeks, hMSC infused (2 × 106, n = 10) at 10 and 11 weeks of age; TSG-6 at 10 and 11 weeks, TSG-6 infused (50 µg/mouse, n = 10) at 10 and 11 weeks of age; TSG-6 from 10 to 17 weeks, TSG-6 infused (50 µg/mouse, n = 5) from 10 to 17 weeks of age. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005 by Kaplan-Meier estimator. CG: HBSS, HBSS infused (n = 10) at 10 and 11 weeks of age; hMSCs, hMSC infused (2 × 106, n = 10) at 10 and 11 weeks of age; TSG-6, TSG-6 infused (50 µg/mouse, n = 5) from 10 to 17 weeks of age. C: End point–representative H-E and immunofluorescence staining for CD4 and insulin. D and E: Islet number per area and insulitis characterization (n = 3 or 4). F: Representative immunofluorescence staining for Foxp3 and insulin. G: Foxp3+ quantification per islet (n = 3 or 4). Values for islet numbers and Foxp3 are means ± SD. *P < 0.05 by two-tailed Student t test.
