Human placental stem cell (HPSC)‐derived conditioned medium (CM) improves cell viability and proliferation. HPSC‐CM resulted in concentration‐dependent increases of cells in proliferation for both renal (primary renal cells [PRCs]; A) and endothelial cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cell [HUVEC]; C) at 1, 2, and 3 days (analysis of variance, Tukey post hoc analysis at p < .05; (A) 1 day [*, with 0×], 2 and 3 day [*, with 0×, 0.25×, 0.5×, 1×; **, with 2×; ***, with 4×; +, with 0×, 0.25×, 0.5×]; (C) *, with 0×, 0.25×, 0.5×, 1×; **, with 2×; ***, with 4×; +, with 0×; n = 3). Viable cells (green) were prominent in the CM‐treated groups in a concentration‐dependent manner at 3 days for both PRC (B) and HUVEC (D) (0‐, 0.25‐, 0.5‐, 1‐, 2‐, and 4‐fold; ×200, Bar = 100 μm). Dead cells fluoresce red. As a positive control, cells were also cultured with respective normal GM. Abbreviation: GM, growth medium.
