Fig 3. The effect of a hypothermic solution on cell viability and apoptotic/necrotic fraction.

Fig 3

(A) The cAD-MSCs were stored in hypothermic solutions at concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 mM PL-BS or NSS for up to 6, 9, and 12 hours. (B) At 6 hours of hypothermic storage, the percentage of cAD-MSCs which had survived in 1 mM PL-BS was significantly higher than that in NSS (p<0.01). (C) The level of early apoptotic cells at 6 hours of hypothermic storage in 1 mM PL-BS was significantly lower than that in NSS (p<0.05). Remark symbols: Asterisk means values were significantly different from the NSS group; * = p<0.05 and ** = p<0.01. The lowercase letters a, b, c, and d above the bar indicate significant difference from the control group; a = p<0.05, b = p<0.01, c = p<0.001, and d = p<0.0001.
