The protein abundance of p-Akt/Akt, PARP, and cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). (a, b) The protein abundance of PARP and cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 was much lower following IGF-1 and bFGF preconditioning ( and versus 0.; and versus , resp.), while the group with VEGF had the expression of PARP and cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 at and , respectively. (c) The protein abundance of p-Akt was much higher in BMSCs plus bFGF and BMSCs plus IGF-1 than control ( and versus , resp.), while VEGF group was ; versus control; in each group.
