Fig. 5. TSG-6 and iPSC-MSCs promote epithelial cell proliferation through interactions between CD44 and hyaluronic acid (HA).

Fig. 5

a Immunofluorescence staining for HA, Ki67, and CD44. Asterisks indicate ulcer margins. The numbers of Ki67+ cells or CD44+ cells were counted from five glands at ulcer margins. b Serial sections in situ hybridized for cycling crypt base columnar cell markers (Lgr5, Smoc2) and quiescent +4 stem cell markers (mTert, Lrig1, and Bmi1). Bar graph shows the numbers of positively stained cells of the indicated markers per crypt in each group. Arrows indicate Bmi1-positive cells in the crypt. n = 6 mice per group. *P < 0.05
