Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuate Severe Burn-Induced Multiple Organ Injury via Potentiating IGF-1 and BCL-2/BAX Pathway

Figure 4

The hUCMSC administrations could significantly improve severe burn-induced cell apoptosis rates of the heart, kidney, and liver. (a) Cell apoptosis rates of vital organs in the burn group were significantly higher than those in the sham group, and they were significantly decreased in the burn+hUCMSC group than those in the burn group. (b) The result of the quantitative analysis is presented in the corresponding histogram.
