Article Title: Mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells decrease renal injury in experimental swine renal artery stenosis through different mechanisms

doi: 10.1002/stem.1263

Figure Lengend Snippet: Top: Representative images of CM-DiI labeled (red) endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the post-stenotic kidneys of pigs with renal artery stenosis (RAS) 4 weeks after cell delivery. Green shows peanut agglutinin (PA, green arrow), a distal tubular marker, and cyan shows a proximal tubular marker phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin (PHA-E, cyan arrow). EPC showed mainly tubular engraftment (yellow arrow), while MSC tend to integrate into both proximal tubules (yellow arrow) and interstitial area (red arrow). Bottom: Both EPC and MSC improved RBF and GFR in pigs with RAS, yet MSC more effectively restored GFR. *p<0.05 vs. Normal, †p<0.05 vs. RAS. Scale bar=200µm

Article Snippet: Furthermore, frozen kidney sections from pigs infused with cells were stained with the distal tubular marker peanut agglutinin (5ug/ml, Vector) and proximal tubular marker phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin (PHA-E, 5ug/ml, Vector).

Article Title: Overexpression of CD47 is associated with brain overgrowth in 16p11.2 deletion syndrome

doi: 10.1101/808022

Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Representative histograms show the mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) of cell-surface expression of Calreticulin (CRT) in NPCs derived from control, 16p_del, and 16p_dup lines. B. Quantification of CRT MFI of cell-surface expression of CRT in the 16p_del NPCs relative to 16p_dup and control NPCs. C. Quantification of Phaseolus Vulgaris Leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), indicative of asialoglycan binding sites for CRT, in NPCs in 16p_deletion lines relative to control and 16p_duplication lines. D. Representative histograms show the MFI of cell-surface expression of CRT in OPCs derived from control, 16p_del, and 16p_dup lines. E. Quantification of CRT MFI of cell-surface expression of CRT in the 16p_del OPCs relative to 16p_dup and control OPCs. F. Quantification of PHA-L in OPCs in 16p_deletion lines relative to control and 16p_duplication lines. n=2 biological replicates per cell line (16p_dup, n=2; control, n=3; 16p_del, n=4 cell lines). All data are mean ± SE; P values were determined by one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey HSD Test.

Article Snippet: The lectin fluorescein labeled Phaseolus Vulgaris Leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) (1:200; Vector Laboratories) was used to stain for PHA-L. For O4 staining, the cells were first incubated in primary antibody mouse-anti-O4 antibody (Clone 81; 1:100; EMD millipore), followed by secondary antibody incubation, anti-Mouse IgM Alexa Fluor 488 (1:1000; Life Technologies).
