Figure 2. Interference effect of UCMSCs on senescent TECs in vitro. (A) The morphology of TECs (100×). (B) The activity of β-galactosidase was determined using β-galactosidase staining (100×). (C) P16 expression was detected by immunocytochemical staining (100×). (D) Ki67 staining was performed to observe TEC proliferation (100×) (the measured values represent the mean ± standard deviation (X ± s)) of three replicate experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
