The Effects of High Glucose on Adipogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation of Gestational Tissue-Derived MSCs

Figure 1

Characteristics of MSCs derived from bone marrow and gestational tissues. (a) Representative micrographs show the fibroblast-like morphology of BM-MSCs, CH-MSCs, PL-MSCs, and UC-MSCs. Scale bar: 100 μm. (b) Immunophenotypes of BM-MSCs, CH-MSCs, PL-MSCs, and UC-MSCs as determined by flow cytometry. (c) Osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs, CH-MSCs, PL-MSCs, and UC-MSCs as determined by BCIP/NBT alkaline phosphatase activity assay. Scale bar: 100 μm. (d) Adipogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs, CH-MSCs, PL-MSCs, and UC-MSCs as determined by oil red O staining. Scale bar: 50 μm.
