Temporal immunofluorescent expressions of CTGF and TGF-β1 in cultured detrusor cells of control, pBOO + PBS and pBOO + hAFSCs. Compared with the control, cultured detrusor cells of pBOO rat have higher CTGF immunoreactivity at 2 and 6 weeks after pBOO, and higher TGF-β1 immunoreactivity at 2 weeks after pBOO. All these changes can be improved after hAFSCs treatment. *: P < 0.05 vs. control, #: P < 0.05 vs. pBOO + PBS. N = 6 in each time point. Bar indicates 150 μm.
