Fig. 3. RA inhibits RPC proliferation.

Fig. 3

a The proliferation ability of the RPC cultures was assessed via CCK-8 analysis. A weakened proliferation capacity was detected in the RA-treated RPCs when compared with control. bThe qPCR results revealed that the expression level of Ki-67 decreased in the RPC cultures treated with RA. c-e Immunochemistry showed that the percentages of BrdU- and Ki-67-positive cells in the RA-treated RPC cultures were significantly lower than those in the control group. Scale bars: 100 μm. Data are the averages of three independent experiments. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01 (Student’s t-test)
