Figure 3

Relative mRNA expressions of nerve growth factor (NGF, A), M2-muscarinic receptor (M2, B) and M3-muscarinic receptor (M3, C) in the bladder of control, STZ-induced diabetic rats (DM) and diabetic rats + hAFSCs transplantation (DM + hAFSCs). Expressions of M2 and M3 mRNAs are increased, and expression of NGF mRNA is decreased in the diabetic rats at week 4 and 12 as compared to controls. After hAFSCs transplantation, expressions of NGF, M2 and M3 recover to near the control levels. Bar indicates 20 μm. *P < 0.05 vs. control group. N = 10 in each time point.
