Mt transfer from BM-MSCs to STZ-PTECs in STZ mice. (a) Experimental protocol for the administration of BM-MSCs in STZ mice (n = 5 per group). (b) Immunofluorescence images of megalin (green) expression and localisation of MtDsRed2-MSC-derived Mt (red, white arrows) in proximal tubules of the kidney of STZ mice. Images were obtained 3 and 7 d after systemic administration of MtDsRed2-MSCs. Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI (blue). PT, proximal tubules. Scale bar, 10 µm.
