Influence of LY294002 treatment on VTN knocked down WJ-MSCs under serum deprivation. WJ-MSCs transfected with a NC siRNA or VTN-targeted esiRNA were treated with PI3kinase pathway inhibitor, LY294002. a qRT-PCR analysis for VTN (n = 3). b Estimation of apoptosis by annexin V analysis. Representative flow cytometry analysis for detection of apoptosis is displayed. c Comparison of the percentages of viable, early apoptotic, and late apoptotic populations between control, NC siRNA-transfected WJ-MSCs treated with LY294002, and VTN esiRNA-transfected WJ-MSCs treated with LY294002 as depicted by the histogram (n = 3). d MTT assay determined the percentage of metabolically viable population of WJ-MSCs upon LY294002 treatment to the VTN knocked down WJ-MSCs under serum deprivation. Each bar represents mean ± SEM (푛n=3). Serum-deprived condition represented as no serum (NS) in the figure (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.0001)
