Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of OM-MSCs Nrf2 on the levels of relevant cytokines in PC12 cells. A Flow cytometry was used to characterize CD45, CD34, CD29, CD90, CD73, and CD105 of OM-MSCs. B RT-qPCR-based to assess transfection efficiency after overexpression of Nrf2 plasmid. OM-MSCs Nrf2 : NRF2 overexpression group. OM-MSCs (ctrl): Empty vector transfection group. OM-MSCs: Untransfected OM-MSCs. C Morphology of both OM-MSCs (ctrl) and OM-MSCs Nrf2 under the optical microscope. Scale bar: 100 μm. D The changes in cytokine concentrations in PC12 cells measured by ELISA, including IL4, IL10, IL13, VEGF-A, and TGF-β. Results of independent triplicates were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and the statistical difference between two groups was marked with asterisks (“ns” indicates no significant difference, * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01). OM-MSCs olfactory mucosa-mesenchymal stem cells, Nrf2 : Nuclear Factor Erythroid-Derived 2-Like 2, IL interleukin, VEGF-A vascular endothelial growth factor-A, TGF-β transforming growth factor beta
