Occurring of In Vitro Functional Vasculogenic Pericytes from Human Circulating Early Endothelial Precursor Cell Culture

Figure 3

Comparative analyses of gene expression pattern of stemness and vasculogenic genes in hMSCs derived from placenta (FMhMSCs), adipose tissue (hASCs), and human Progenitor Perivascular Cells (hPPCs). Real-time PCR data of (a) octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT-4); (b) Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF-4); (c) NANOG; (d) Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2); (e) nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3); (f) Kinase insert Domain Receptor (VEGF Receptor 2) (KDR) are presented. Data were normalized to GAPDH housekeeping gene and expressed as relative fold change compared to FMhMSCs. Statistical analysis of four independent experiments was performed using ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test: , versus FMhMSCs; , versus hPPCs.
