Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of cytokines in bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs). Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis showed the differences of cytokine expression levels among BM-MNCs in the young non-diabetic (YN), adult non-diabetic (AN) and adult diabetic rats (AD). (a) The expression levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) decreased in BM-MNCs derived from AD compared with those from YN or AN. (b) Nerve growth factor (NGF) levels decreased in BM-MNCs derived from AD compared with AN. (c) There was no significant difference in the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) among those groups. *P < 0.05 vs YN, #P < 0.05 vs AN.
