Stem cells differentiation into blood vessels, neurons, and glia via the upregulation of the survival signal pathway induced by PGZ in OVX/GFP+BM rats. In the peri-infarct region, double immunohistochemical staining for Musashi-1 (a), GFP (b), and BrdU (c) shows co-localization with NeuN, GFAP, and CD31, respectively. The mRNA level of VEGF (d) was analyzed by quantitative PCR. The protein expression of VEGF, p-Akt, and MAP2 in the peri-infarct region (e) was detected on Western blots and analyzed using LAS 4000 and Image J software. Data are the mean ± SD from eight rats per group. *p < 0.05 vs. VC by ANOVA followed by Scheffe’s test
