Figure 3From: Impaired cardioprotective function of transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells from patients with diabetes mellitus to rats with experimentally induced myocardial infarctionBcl-2 expression in human MSCs. (A) Levels of Bcl-2 expression estimated by Affymetrix microarray analysis show a nearly 2.5-fold down-regulation in CAD+DM-MSCs compared with CAD-MSCs. (B) Western blot validation of protein levels demonstrated a great than 2-fold down-regulation in CAD+DM-MSCs compared with CAD-MSCs. (*P < 0.05 vs. CAD group).Back to article page
