Figure 7. hKLK1-MSCs transfer down-regulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis associated cytokines in mouse kidney.
The expression of 13 genes representing proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and apoptotic factors in the kidneys were measured by QPCR in B6.Sle1.Sle3 mice treated with PBS, hKLK1-MSCs or vector-MSCs. Total renal RNA was extracted 28 days after treatment. Taqman assay was performed using an ABI 7900HT real-time PCR system. RQ (relative quantity) represents the mean of 5 samples per group. Error bars denote SD.
