Hypoxic preconditioning augments the cell adhesion capacity of human PBMNCs and up-regulates the expression of cell adhesion molecule. A. The cell adhesion capacity of human PBMNCs can be reinforced by hypoxic preconditioning. The number of attached hPBMNCs, which were pre-cultured in normoxic or hypoxic conditions for 24 h, on cell culture dishes was counted one day after plating. n = 3. B. Immunocytochemistry for PECAM-1 was performed on attached hPBMNCs. Arrowhead represents PECAM-1+ cells. Scale bar: 50 μm. C. PECAM-1+ cells in attached hPBMNCs were significantly increased in the hypoxia group. The percentage of PECAM-1+ cells in attached hPBMNCs was calculated by the occupation of PECAM-1+ cells in total nuclei. n = 6. **p < 0.05 vs. normoxia. Nor: Normoxia. Hyp: Hypoxia.
