Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Promote Seawater-Immersed Wound Healing by Activating Skin Stem Cells via the EGFR/MEK/ERK Pathway

Figure 6

hADSCs affect MEK/ERK signaling pathway activation in SW-treated wounds. The expression levels of EGF protein (a, b) and collagen type 1, collagen type 3, and ERK mRNA levels (c) in the control group and the SW+hADSC group were significantly higher than those in the SW group and the SW+DMEM group. A schematic diagram shows how SW and hADSCs regulate wound healing through the MEK/ERK signaling pathway (d). , , and .
