Expression of VEGF and HGF is higher at the infarct area. (A, B) Levels of mRNA in the transplanted infarct and infarct-remote heart areas by real-time PCR using rat-specific primers. The HGF and VEGF mRNA expressions within the transplanted infarct area of the hearts were significantly increased in the SMB+MSC sheet group compared with the other groups. N=4 in each group. *p<0.05 versus SMB. p<0.05 versus MSC. p<0.05 versus sham. (C) Intramyocardial protein levels of HGF and VEGF, analyzed by ELISA, were significantly greater in the heart in the SMB+MSC sheet group compared with the other groups. *p<0.05 versus SMB. p<0.05 versus MSC. p<0.05 versus control. Error bars=SD.
