Fig. 5. Neonatal Scx-lin annulocytes lose ScxGFP expression and adopt a stem/progenitor phenotype following injury.

Fig. 5

Sca-1 immunostaining for stem/progenitor cells at d3 revealed broad presence of non Scx-lin cells throughout the injury site and colocalization with few Scx-lin cells a. Scx-lin cells colocalized with Sca-1 at d14 b and d56 c with decreased Sca-1 expression at the d56 injury site compared to d3 and d14. The presence of non Scx-lin, ScxGFP+, Sca-1 expressing cells at day 56 points towards contributions of non Scx-lin stem/progenitors that are potentially recruited to the injury site and differentiate to a ScxGFP cell phenotype. Scale = 100 μm.
