Infusion of BM-MSCs regulated autophagic activity of pancreatic β cells in T2D rats. (a) LAMP2 expression in β cells was assessed by immunofluorescence analysis. Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) β-Cell apoptosis was detected using TUNEL assay by immunofluorescence analysis according to the presence of insulin- (red) and TUNEL-positive (green) cells. Scale bar, 50 μm. (c and d) TEM analysis showed ultrastructural changes in pancreatic β cells. Blue arrows, autophagosomes; yellow arrows, autolysosomes; red arrows, insulin granules. Scale bar, 2 μm (c), 0.5 μm (d). Magnification: × 15 000 (c), × 40 000 (d). n=10 rats per group
