Upregulation of neurotrophic factors and myelination-related genes in diabetic Schwann cells cultured with MSCs. Schwann cells (SCs) were cultured with and without MSCs in different glucose concentrations to mimic diabetic conditions. Seven days after culture, only SCs were isolated by MACS and subjected to qRT-PCR. The expression levels of SC-specific genes were reduced at 450 mg/dl and 900 mg/dl glucose compared to the levels at 100 mg/dl (dotted lines), but were significantly increased after coculture with MSCs. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (n = 4–6).
