[Retracted] Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Facilitates Self-Renewal and Differentiation and Attenuates Oxidative Stress of BMSCs by Activating PI3K/AKT Signaling

Figure 9

LIF improves the self-renewal and differentiation of hypoxic BMSCs by activating PI3K/Akt signaling. (a–d) Flow sorting for detecting cell surface antigens (CD105, CD90, and CD29) in hypoxic BMSCs with LIF overexpression as well as PI3K/Akt signaling agonist 740Y-P or inhibitor LY294002. (e–h) Immunofluorescent staining for ALP, BSP, and OCN expressions in hypoxic BMSCs with LIF overexpression as well as PI3K/Akt signaling agonist 740Y-P or inhibitor LY294002. Bar, 20 μm.
