LPS preconditioning enhanced the survival of engrafted MSCs. A. Engrafted MSCs were detected by the presence of DiI-labeled cells (red) and cells were not found in control group(× 200). B. Real-time PCR for sry gene in the female heart tissue samples at 3 weeks after sex-mismatched cell transplantation. The fold change in sry gene expression in different groups was calculated. The result showed significantly higher survival rate of the engrafted cells in the LPS-wMSCs group compared with that in wMSCs group and LPS-tMSCs group. Data are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.01 versus wMSCs group; #P < 0.01 versus LPS-tMSCs group.
