Comparing the Gene Expression Profile of Stromal Cells from Human Cord Blood and Bone Marrow: Lack of the Typical “Bone” Signature in Cord Blood Cells
Figure 2
Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of genes expressed differentially in USSC, CBSC, and BMSC. Illustrated are the arithmetic means and standard deviations of at least 3 different cell lines per cell type. * to 0.05, significant; ** to 0.01, very significant (unpaired -test). RPL13A was used as housekeeping gene. Genes selected for overexpression experiments are highlighted. MSX2: homolog of muscle segment homeobox Drosophila 2, MYC: V-Myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog, BSP: integrin-binding sialoprotein, OSX (SP7): osterix, BMP4: bone morphogenetic protein 4, OC (BGLAP): osteocalcin, PITX2: paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2, and RPL13A: ribosomal protein L13A.
