Fig. 2From: Spontaneous spheroids from alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stromal cells maintain pluripotency of stem cells by regulating hypoxia-inducible factorsAnalysis of cell proliferation and apoptosis in AB-MSC spheroids. a Immunofluorescence was used to assess the expression of cell proliferation marker Ki67 (red) and apoptosis marker Caspase3 (green) in spheroids. Scale bars = 100 μm. DAPI, 4',6-diamidino-2- phenylindole. b RT-qPCR analysis of Ki67 and Caspase3 expression in spheroids during 120 h culture (n = 3, ***, p < 0.001, ANOVA test). c Cell viability of spheroids and monolayer was measured by CCK-8 (n = 3, ***, p < 0.001, Student’s t-test, compared to the monolayer)Back to article page
