Figure 1

The phenotype and proliferation rate of healthy and pathological human myocardium-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hmMSC). (A) Obtaining of hmMSC from the human heart explants after five days of cultivation, scale bar = 500 μm. Morphology of healthy (B) and pathological (C) hmMSC, scale bar = 640 μm. (D) Graphical representation of attachment area for healthy and pathological cell. The distribution of 60 cells of each type according to the attached area are presented. (E) Expression of surface markers on healthy and pathological hmMSC. The proliferation rate of healthy and pathological hmMSC evaluated by metabolic Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) (F) and cell-counting method (G). Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The * p ≤ 0.05, n = 6 from three experiments calculated by an Excel program. Total adherent surface of different cell types and the minor and major axes of healthy and pathological cells are presented as Supplementary Figure S1.
