5-MTP upregulates FoxO3a and increases SOD and catalase activities. (A) FoxO3a proteins in LG-BM-MSCs and HG-BM-MSCs in the presence and absence of 5-MTP (10 μM) were analyzed by Western blotting. Upper panel shows representative blots and the lower panel, densitometric analysis of blots. Error bars denote mean ± SEM (n = 3). *p < 0.05. (B) SOD and (C) catalase activity in BM-MSCs incubated in LG or HG with or without 5-MTP. Error bars denote mean ± SEM (n = 3). *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. N.S. non-significant.
