Apoptosis in the retina was analyzed by the TUNEL technique in serial 4-μm eye sections 4 weeks after MSC administration (A) and 12 weeks after MSC administration (B). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Arrows indicate TUNEL-positive cells. The number of apoptotic nuclei was quantified at both experimental times and expressed as fold-change versus normal mice (C and D). Qualitative data are representative of eight eyes per analyzed time. Quantitative data correspond to mean ± SEM of eight eyes per group and per analyzed time.
