Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of APPswe-C on the proliferation and migration of MSCs. (A, B) The effect of APPswe-C on the self-renewal of MSCs was detected by a colony-forming unit-fibroblast assay. (C, D) The effect of APPswe-C on the cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. (E) The expression of the proliferation gene Ki67 was detected by cellular immunofluorescence. (F) The expression levels of proliferation-related proteins after APPswe-C treatment were detected by western blotting. (G, H) The cell migration of each group after APPswe-C treatment was detected by Transwell assay. (I, J) The effect of APPswe-C treatment on cell migration was detected by a wound healing test. (K) The expression of F-actin in the cells of each group after APPswe-C treatment was detected by FITC-phalloidin staining. (L) The expression levels of cell migration-related proteins were detected by western blot. MSCs were treated with APPswe-C for 24 h and then with BMP2 for 48 h to detect the expression levels of related proteins. n = 3; ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001. APPswe-C, Swedish mutant amyloid precursor protein without an intracellular segment; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell; BMP2, bone morphogenetic protein 2.
