Engineered Human Muscle Tissue from Skeletal Muscle Derived Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Cardiac Cells
Figure 3
RT-PCR analysis of EMT Gene Expression. (a) Cardiac and skeletal muscle specific mRNA expression of MDSC-EMT at culture day 14 after tissue construction. Values are normalized to undifferentiated MDSCs. (b) Cardiac and skeletal muscle specific mRNA expression of culture day 14 iPS-EMT. Values are normalized to undifferentiated iPS cells. *. **. Red line indicates twofold increase. (c) Representative Ct values for MDSC-EMT and iPS-EMT. Although expression levels vary between the tissues, their transcriptional and structural gene profiles overlap.
