Fig. 5: Enhanced crystal adhesion capacity of CsA-treated cells.

From: Cell cycle shift from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases is responsible for increased adhesion of calcium oxalate crystals on repairing renal tubular cells at injured site

Fig. 5

a COM crystal-cell adhesion assay was performed on the controlled, repairing, and CsA-treated cells at 12-h post-scratch or post-treatment. Micrographs were taken by using a phase contrast microscope (original magnification  = ×200 in all panels). b Crystal adhesion capacity of the cells was examined from at least 15 randomized high-power fields (HPFs) in each well. Each bar represents mean ± SEM of the data obtained from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. control; #p < 0.05 vs. 4 µM CsA-treated cells
