Effect of isoflurane-induced preconditioning on death rate of hESCs-derived Nkx2.5+ CPCs under oxidative stress. Preconditioning with 0.25 mM of isoflurane could not lower the death rate of CPCs under oxidative stress. However, preconditioning with 0.5 mM and 1.0 mM of isoflurane decreased death rate of CPCs. * Statistically significant differences with group time control, group Iso 0.5 + str, and group Iso 1.0 + str (P < 0.05). Each black bar represents the 95 % confidence interval and a black diamond the mean value of the death rate of CPCs. Iso 0.25 + Str = 0.25 mM of isoflurane plus stress; 0.5 Iso + Str = 0.5 mM of isoflurane plus stress; 1.0 Iso + Str = 1.0 mM of isoflurane plus stress
