Effect of GHRH-R agonists on proliferation of cardiac stem cells. (A) Representative immunofluorescence staining of porcine CSCs showing incorporation of EdU at 2 and 8 h after exposure to 100 nM of the GHRH-R agonist JI-38 and to 100 nM of the antagonist MIA-602. (B) Quantification of proliferation rate from fluorescence images in A (*P < 0.05, n = 3). (C) Effect of different GHRH-R agonists at 100 nM concentration on porcine CSC proliferation (*P < 0.05, n = 14). Values in B and C represent the proliferation ratio between 2 and 8 h. Error bars indicate SE.
