BMSC injection inhibited apoptosis in the retinal cells. Apoptosis mainly occurred in the retinas of OIR-blank group, OIR-DMEM group and OIR-CON group, while fewer apoptotic cells appeared in OIR-BMSC group or healthy group. Quantification of TUNEL-positive cells among groups by random field counting in posterior retina revealed significant inhibition of apoptosis in the group receiving BMSC in contrast to OIR-Blank and OIR-CON (P17). *, P < 0.05 versus OIR-Blank; #, P < 0.05 versus OIR-CON; n = 12; Bar = 50 μm
