Prolonged inflammation affects the morphology and viability of MSC. A) xCELLigence analysis on MSC viability, correlated with the cellular index variation B) Phase contrast microscopy images showing the cellular morphology of MSC after stimulation with TNFα and IFNγ after 48 hours of cytokine treatment; C) xCELLigence analysis of MSC viability after stimulated with three different doses of TNFα; D) Phase contrast microscopy images showing the MSC viability after 72-hour stimulation with TNFα at different concentrations.

L-NAME effect on MSC mortality and NO production. A) Phase contrast microscopy images showing the cellular morphology of MSC after stimulation with TNFα and IFNγ, alone or in combination, in the presence or absence of NOS2 inhibitor L-NAME. B) Quantitative determination of nitrite produced by MSC after stimulation with TNFα and IFNγ.
