Figure 6. Another characteristic of mesenchymal cell is the acquisition of migration ability.

Figure 6

Through light microscopy images we can observe that HK2-WT cells in situation control (A), even in confluence, do not migrate to the adjacent region of the culture plate. However stimulated with potassium oxalate (Ox), calcium oxalate (CaOx) and TGF-β1, HK2-WT cells and HK2T + siRNA migrate to the adjacent region (B and E). However, HK2 cells receiving BMP-7 (HK2 + BMP-7) (C) and HK2 cells overexpressing BMP-7 (HK2T) (D) behaved similarly to the control (CTL) situation. N = 15 for each group.
