NAC treatment promotes the proliferation and survival of TSPCs. A CCK-8 analysis of the proliferation of TSPCs. TSPCs were treated in triplicate with, or without, the indicated concentrations of NAC for the indicated time periods and the viability of cells was analyzed by CCK-8 assays. B The morphology, live and dead cells and ROS production in TSPCs. TSPCs were cultured in triplicate in the presence or absence of the indicated compounds and their morphology was observed and the live/dead cells as well as their ROS production were characterized by fluorescent staining. Data are representative images or expressed as the mean ± SD of each group from three separate experiments. **P < 0.01
