Effects of heme oxygenase-1-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on microcirculation and energy metabolism following liver transplantation

Figure 9 von Willebrand factor expression in the liver after liver transplantation. A: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of von willebrand factor (vWF); B: IHC integrated optical density (IOD) of vWF; C: Western blotting and vWF protein levels.vWF protein levels: Postoperative day (POD) 1: HO-1/BMMSCs group vs NS group: 0.36 ± 0.05 vs 0.20 ± 0.00 (P < 0.01); HO-1/BMMSCs group vs BMMSCs group: 0.36 ± 0.05 vs 0.25 ± 0.01 (P < 0.01). POD5: HO-1/BMMSCs vs BMMSCs group vs NS group: 0.43 ± 0.08 vs 0.30 ± 0.01 vs 0.19 ± 0.01 (P < 0.05). POD7: HO-1/BMMSCs group vs BMMSCs group vs NS group: 0.46 ± 0.04 vs 0.33 ± 0.03 vs 0.26 ± 0.03 (P < 0.05).
