Characterization of Cellular and Molecular Heterogeneity of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

Table 3

Whole genome microarray analysis of two clonal populations of human bone marrow stromal stem cells: CL1 and CL2 cells. (a) Top 35 highly upregulated genes in CL1 cells versus CL2 cells. (b) Ingenuity® Pathway Analysis (IPA®) showing the different physiological system development and function genes found in each category and the corresponding value. (c) Upper part IPA analysis showing the categories for skeletal and muscular system development and function upregulated in CL1 cells and lower part showing genes upregulated in CL2 cells. NOV = nephroblastoma overexpressed, IGFBP5 = insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5, ALP, TAGLN = transgelin, and CDH11 = OB-cadherin (osteoblast).
