Activation of Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Enhances Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

<div>Expression of cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2 in BM-MSCs. (a) RT-PCR analysis of cannabinoid receptors (CNR) 1 and 2 genes in BM-MSCs. Expression of cannabinoid receptor 2 was confirmed in BM-MSCs. GAPDH was used as internal control. PCR products were resolved on 2% agarose gel. (b) Immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect expression of CNR1 and CNR2 in BM-MSC at protein level. Bar = 100 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
