Fig. 3: Gene expression of inflammatory cytokines in MCAo rats treated with IV-hUMSCs.

Real-time PCR of seven inflammatory cytokines among controls (n = 5), MCAo rats treated with saline (n = 5), and MCAo rats treated with IV-hUMSCs (n = 6). The test was duplicated for each gene, and the mean value was used for statistical analysis. The fold difference was represented as a 2−ddCT value that was calculated by the comparative threshold (CT) cycle method. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM. The expression level of each gene was normalized to GAPDH. *p < 0.05
