Effects of SMGO on the expression of VEGF and MMP-9 in the damaged livers treated with MSC-CM. MGO enhanced the number of VEGF and MMP-9-positive cells in the CCl4-induced livers treated with MSC-CM. Positive cells were visualized by VEGF and MMP-9 immunostaining in the liver sections 4 days after the injection. Scale bar, 200 μm (control, CCl4 + SMGO, and CCl4 + CM + SMGO); Scale bar, 400 μm (CCl4, CCl4 + CM). Arrows mark MMP9+ and VEGF + cells. Scale bars, 200 μm (A,B,E,F,K,L) and 400 μm (C,D,G,H). Abbreviations: CM, conditioned medium; CCl4, carbon tetrachloride; and SMGO, silica magnetic graphene oxide.
