Figure 7. Differentiation of CSps into myocardial cells and the paracrine effect.

Figure 7

A, CSps differentiated into cardiac muscle cells directly after transplantation in vivo; B, CSps promoted the formation of cardiac muscle cells through the mechanism of the paracrine effect; C and D, transplantation of CSps in vivo promoted angiogenesis in infarcted myocardial tissue via a paracrine action; C, DiR‐labelled CSps did not overlap with α‐SMA‐labelled vessel; D, BrdU and α‐SMA staining showing the vessels were newly formed. Areas of blood vessels indicated by a star were enlarged as indicated by the arrows. E, contents of growth factors in fluid of the pericardial cavity. * P < 0.05 versus Control group.
