Interferon-γ priming enhances the therapeutic effects of menstrual blood-derived stromal cells in a mouse liver ischemia-reperfusion model

Figure 1 Animal experiment grouping and timeline. Detailed descriptions are provided in the Materials and Methods. In brief, we established short-term and long-term liver ischemia-reperfusion mouse models to explore the therapeutic potential of menstrual blood-derived stromal cells (MenSCs) and primed MenSCs. MenSCs: Menstrual blood-derived stromal cells; IFN-γ: Interferon-γ; 1MT: 1-methyl-D-tryptophan; IR: Ischemia-reperfusion; IRM: Combination treated with ischemia-reperfusion and menstrual blood-derived stromal cells; IRM (IFN-γ): Combination treated with ischemia-reperfusion and interferon-γ-primed menstrual blood-derived stromal cells; PBS: Phosphate buffered saline; i.v.: Intravenous injection.
