Immunofluorescent analysis indicates the expression of NKX2.5 and cTnI (green) in the hearts of rats with MI two and four weeks after PMSCs and HPL + PMSCs injection: (A, B): Sample micrographs of NKX2.5 and cTnI in an animal of each group. Quantification of the levels of NKX2.5 + and cTnI+ (C and E) and the number of Dil+/NKX2.5 + and Dil+/ cTnI+ (D and F) in the study groups. Stem cells stained with Dil dye (red) and nuclei with DAPI (blue). *** P < 0.001 vs. PMSCs 2 weeks; # < P < 0.05, ### P < 0.001 vs. HPL + PMSCs 2 weeks; &&& P < 0.01 vs. PMSCs; $$ P < 0.001, $$$ P < 0.001 vs. HPL + PMSCs. n = 3 in each group.
