Comparison of Gene Expression in Human Embryonic Stem Cells, hESC-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 2

Differentiation gene expression levels in hESC (blue), hES-MSC (Red), or hMSC (green) populations. The differentiation genes are classified as follow: (a) neuroectodermic genes; (b) endodermic genes; (c) mesodermic genes; (d) and (e) mesenchymal genes including transcription factors, cell adhesion molecules, and protease genes (d) and Extra-cellular matrix genes (e). y-axis values correspond to 2^−NCtas described in Material and Methods. The black line represents the limit of detection (LOD: > 35 Ct). Asterisks (*) indicate significant expression variation with 𝑃<0.05.
