Effects of Ginsenoside Rg1 on the Biological Behavior of Human Amnion-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (hAD-MSCs)
Figure 5
Effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on the apoptosis of hAD-MSCs. (a) The effects of D-gal with different concentrations on the viability of hAD-MSCs were detected using CCK-8 assay. Optical density (OD) values at 450 nm of each concentration at 24 and 48 h after D-gal treatment were shown (n = 6). (b) The morphology of hAD-MSCs in the control, Rg1, D-gal, and Rg1+D-gal groups (×100). (c, d) The hAD-MSC apoptosis rates in the control, Rg1, D-gal, and Rg1+D-gal groups were analyzed (c) and compared (d) by flow cytometry (n = 3). A representative image of three independent experiments is shown in each group. Scale bars = 200 μm. NS: not significant, and .
