Representative images of histological staining of renal sections. The renal sections were stainied by H&E staining (A, B, C) , PAS staining (D, E, F) and Immunofluorescence staining for IgA (G, H, I), respectively. Normal group, there was no significant histological abnormality after saline solution injection (A, D, G), IgAN group after saline solution injection, the pathological changes were increased number of cells in the glomeruli, and moderate to severe hyperplasia of mesangial matrix and cells. There was significiant green fluorescence in the glomeruli. (B, E, H). EPCs group after EPCs transplantation, hyperplasia of mesangial matrix and cells was decreased, green fluorescence in the glomeruli was weaken than IgAN group, (C, F, I).
