Fig. 3. Biological activity of STC2 expressed in ADSC. The expression levels of cell cycle regulator proteins, CDK2 and 4 (A), inhibitor proteins, p16 and p21 (B), and stemness factors, Nanog and Oct4 (C). ADSCs were treated with NC, H2O2, and pcDNA/STC2+H2O2, and then got oxidative damage for 3 hrs. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, the expression of each factors were measured by RT-PCR. Data represent means ± SE. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.02 for remarked groups.
