PINK1 enhances the inhibitory effect of BMSCs on apoptosis in the kidney tissues of IRI-AKI mice. a Representative image of TUNEL staining in kidney tissues. b The number of TUNEL-positive cells in each square millimetre of kidney tissue slices, n = 30, × 400, Bar: 50 μm. c The relative expression levels of cleaved caspase-3 and the internal reference protein GAPDH in renal tissues were examined by western blotting. d Quantitative analysis of the relative expression levels of cleaved Caspase3 in renal tissues in each group. SEM, ###p < 0.001, ##p < 0.01 and #p < 0.05, compared with the IRI group; ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05, compared with among the groups
