Figure 1 Alpha-ketoglutarate improves cell survival and burn wound healing.
A: Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling immunostaining of the mouse burn wounds treated with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and α-ketoglutarate-ADSCs (αKG-ADSCs), with quantification; B: Ex vivo annexin V-propidium iodide flow-cytometry analysis of CM-FDA-labeled mouse ADSCs and αKG-ADSCs; C: Representative images of hypoxyprobe (upper panel) and 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (lower panel) immunostaining of mouse ADSCs and αKG-ADSCs, with quantification; D: Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the mouse burn wounds treated with ADSCs and αKG-ADSCs. Data are presented with means ± SEM (aP < 0.05). ADSCs: Adipose-derived stem cells; αKG-ADSCs: Alpha-ketoglutarate adipose-derived stem cells.
