Fig. 3. eBM-MSCs expression of certain genes encoding apoptosis-related molecules can be affected by proinflammatory cytokines. Gene expression of each gene in every experiment is represented as the mean ± SEM (n = 3) fold increase or decrease compared to the corresponding control from each experiment. (A) Expression of genes encoding molecules directly participating in the apoptosis mechanisms BAX, BCL-2, BCL-XL, CASP8, and HSP27. (B) Expression of genes encoding proinflammatory cytokines related to apoptosis TNF-α and IFN-γ. NE, no expression. ^*p < 0.05 and ^**p < 0.01.
