The expression of VEGF and distribution of Ad-GFP labeled BMEPCs.
(A) Bar diagram representing significantly elevated content of VEGF in conditioned medium from BMEPCs (**P<0.01, n = 6). (B) Green fluorescent expression of adenovirus-green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP) on BMEPCs (×100). (C, D) Implanted Ad-GFP labeled BMEPCs were distributed into lung tissues. (E, F) Ad-GFP labeled BMEPCs were incorporated into pulmonary arterioles (×200).
