PMSCs regulate the UUO rat renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. (a) Masson's trichrome staining of kidney sections from normal, saline, and PMSCs treated rats at day 3, 7, and 14 after UUO. Sham group (n = 5) represents the kidney from untreated rats after 3, 7, and 14 days, respectively. Saline group (n = 5) represents saline-treated kidney subjected to UUO after 3, 7, and 14 days, respectively. PMSC group (n = 5) represents PMSCs treated kidney at 3, 7, and 14 days, respectively. Scale bar: 50 μm. (b) Tubulointerstitial infiltration was quantified by image analysis using NIS Elements (Nikon). ∗P < 0.05 compared with Saline group; ∗∗P < 0.01 compared with Saline group; #P < 0.05 compared with Sham group.
