Comprehensive Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Human Placenta and Fetal Membrane and Their Response to Osteoactivin Stimulation

Figure 3

Differentiation assay of Pl/Mb-MSCs in comparison to BM-MSCs and cytokines expression. (a) Representative differentiation of Pl/Mb-MSCs passage 4 is shown. Cells were kept in induction medium (differentiation) or control standard medium (control). (a–d) Osteogenic and adipocyte differentiation and control for BM-MSCs. (f–h) Osteogenic and adipocyte differentiation and control for Mb-MSCs. (b) Cytokine expressions of Mb-MSCs and BM-MSCs using the proteome profiler. (c) Quantification of cytokine optical density. Measurements were obtained with image J software (NIH).
