Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Neural Lineage Cells Induced by bFGF-Chitosan Controlled Release System

Figure 5

Under different coculture conditions, BMSCs were induced to differentiate into Tuj-1+ cells after 14 days of coculture. (a) bFGF-chitosan could significantly facilitate the differentiation of BMSCs into Tuj-1+ cells. (b) Quantitative analysis of Tuj-1+ cell numbers under different coculture conditions. (c) Qrt-PCR analysis mRNA expression levels of nestin and Tuj-1 at different time points. Data represent the means ± SE. bFGF-chitosan vs. bFGF, bFGF-chitosan vs. conditioned medium P <0.001. Scale bar: 100 μm.
