Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Oct4, p53 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) SUMOylation enhances bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) proliferation, stemness maintenance and resistance to apoptosis. (A) Detection of PCNA and Oct4 expression levels by western blot analysis. (B) Detection of p53 and HIF-1α expression levels by western blotting. (C and D) Quantification of data in A. *p<0.05, compared with PBS group. (E and F) Quantification of data in B. *p<0.05, compared with the control group. (G) A putative regulatory model of hypothermic induction of protein SUMOylation that enhances proliferation, stemness maintenance, and resistance to apoptosis in BMSCs.
