Effects of endothelial progenitor cells transplantation on hyperlipidemia associated kidney damage in ApoE knockout mouse model

摘要

Characterization of EPCs. The serum level of lipid in the normal control mice and ApoE mice after PBS and EPC treatment. Expanded adherent cells could take up ( ) BS-1 lectin and bind to ( ) DiI-acLDL as shown by the red and green fluorescence. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Merged images showed that most cells were ( ) dual-positive. Dual positive cells were defined as EPCs. The serum level of cholesterol (CHOL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the normal control mice, ApoE mice fed on a high-fat diet with PBS or EPC treatment ( , **
