Fig. 5From: Unveiling the improved targeting migration of mesenchymal stem cells with CXC chemokine receptor 3-modification using intravital NIR-II photoacoustic imagingOverexpression of Cxcr3 in MSCs. a Representative bright field (BF) and green fluorescence images of MSCeGFP and MSCCxcr3. MSCs were transduced with lentivirus to express eGFP alone (MSCeGFP) or in combination with Cxcr3 (MSCCxcr3). b Analysis of Cxcr3 mRNA expression in MSCeGFP and MSCCxcr3.c Western blot of Cxcr3 in total cell lysates of MSCeGFP and MSCCxcr3. CypB, cyclophilin B, used as housekeeping gene. d Cxcr3 overexpression promoted the in vitro migration of MSCs toward Cxcl10. Representative images and quantification analysis of transwell migration assay were shown. e Quantification analysis of transwell migration assay of MSCCxcr3 after incubating with vehicle (PBS) or TAT-CPNPs (NPs).
