Detection of engrafted MSCs apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra: a representative photomicrographs of MSCs apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra at day 14. Transplanted MSCs were labeled with CM-DiI (red). TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptotic cells (green). TUNEL-positive MSCs (double-positive cells merged, write arrow) were frequently observed. b Quantitative analysis of the number of engrafted MSCs. c Quantitative analysis of the ratio of TUNEL-positive MSCs, d quantitative analysis of the number of TUNEL-positive non-MSCs. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6). *p < 0.01, as compared with control MSCs group. Scale bars 100 μm
