Percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells of ADMSCs under IVD-like chemical conditions. Flow cytometry analysis showed a slight increase in the number of apoptotic cells under IVD-like low glucose condition, a decrease in the number of vital cells and an increase in the number of apoptotic and necrotic cells under IVD-like osmolarity, IVD-like pH as well as combined IVD-like conditions. Data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 6). Statistically significant differences were indicated with asterisks, *** P < 0.001.
