Fig 4. In vitro migration assay using a transwell system with brain extracts obtained from cortex and striatum at 1, 4, and 7 days after MCAo.

Fig 4

(A and B) Transwell migration of MSCs with brain extracts obtained from ischemic region (a-c and e-f) was more prominent than without brain extract (d and h). Transwell migration of MSCs was more prominent with brain extract obtained from cortex at 1 day after MCAo (a) than with those obtained at 4 (b) or 7 (c) days after MCAo. However, transwell migration with brain extract obtained from striatum at 1 day after MCAo (e) was lower than with those obtained at 4 (f) or 7 (g) days after MCAo (*P < 0.05) (n = 5 for each time point). MSCs indicates mesenchymal stem cells; MCAo, middle cerebral artery occlusion.
