The secretomes obtained from MSCs exposed to 150μM DFX, 400μM DFX or to the vehicle for 48 hours were concentrated 10 times (v/v) using 3 kDa cutoff filters and the protein levels of selected factors were evaluated by ELISA. (A) Quantification of VEGFα in MSC secretomes. (B) Quantification of NGF in MSC secretomes. (C) Quantification of IL4 in MSC secretomes. Data is presented as mean ± SEM. N = 4 per experimental group (biological repeats). Experiments were repeated three times at technical level. * p< 0.05.
