Immunofluorescence analysis of capillary density in the peri-infarct zone 4 weeks after cell transplantation. (A): Cardiac sections from four rat groups were stained with DAPI (blue) and antibody to endothelial cell marker vWF (red). (B): Capillary density was greatest in the SPIOADSC-magnet-treated rats (n = 8) compared with the SPIOADSC-treated rats (n = 8), the CCM-magnet rats (n = 8), and the CCM control rats (n = 8). Scale bar = 50 μm. #, p > .05 versus the CCM; Δ, p < .05 versus the CCM or CCM-magnet; ∗, p < .05 versus the SPIOASCs, CCM-magnet, or CCM. Abbreviations: CCM, cell culture medium; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; SPIOASC, superparamagnetic iron oxide-labeled adipose-derived stem cell; vWF, von Willebrand factor.
