Fig. 1From: Priming stem cells with protein kinase C activator enhances early stem cell-chondrocyte interaction by increasing adhesion moleculesThe effect of varying concentrations of PMA on the viability of ADSCs. To test whether PMA itself has any cytotoxic effect on ADSCs, the cells were cultured in a 96 well plate (5 × 103 cells/well) and treated with either vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or varying concentrations of PMA as indicated for 24 h. Cell viability was measured by using CCK-8 kit. The quantitative data were expressed as the mean ± S.E.M of at least 3 independent experiments. Un untreated controlBack to article page
