CD34 cell surface marker protein expression levels of CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem cells in the presence of 0.2 and 0.4 mM LC for 48 h of incubation. At the end of treatment period, CD34⁺ HSCs were collected in both control (CD34⁺ HSCs without any LC treatment) and experimental groups (CD34⁺ HSCs with 0.2 and 0.4 mM LC treatment). (A) Cell population, (B) CD34 marker assessment in the control group, (C) CD34 marker assessment in the presence of 0.2 mM LC, (D) CD34 marker assessment in the presence of 0.4 mM LC. The quantification was shown in part E. As shown in part C, in the presence of 0.2 mM LC, the expression of CD34 significantly increased by about 1.75 folds in the experimental group compared to the control group, mean±SEM, n=3, and ^*P<0.05
