Each population of ASCs and BMSCs expressed different aspects in osteogenic characteristics after 14 days of culture. ●: detected; ●●: significantly increased to those in CD90(−)/CD105(−) cultured in the osteogenic medium without AdenoX-bmp2. ●●●: significantly increased to the others except ●●●. All cells cultured in DMEM without osteogenic supplements (normal) remained less osteogenic after the period.
