Effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on pro-inflammatory, fibrotic cytokine and chemokine gene expression in kidney tissues. The mRNA expression of cytokines and fibronectin (FN) were significantly suppressed in the MSC group compared with the diabetic nephropathy (DN) group at 10 weeks after diabetes onset. All the data were normalized by control value (control was shown as 1), and are presented as means ± SD [*p<0.05 vs. normal group (NC); #p<0.05 vs. DN group].
