Inhibition of Viability, Proliferation, Cytokines Secretion, Surface Antigen Expression, and Adipogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells by Seven-Day Exposure to 0.5 T Static Magnetic Fields

Figure 4

Effect of seven-day exposure to 0.5 T SMF on surface antigen profile and DNA integrity in ASCs and _SPIOASCs. (a) The percentage of cells expressing CD49d, CD54, and CD73 was significantly lower in the ASCs-SMF and _SPIOASCs-SMF than in the ASCs and _SPIOASCs. (b) Representative comet assay result. DNA damage with comet tail was not observed at four groups of ASCs. (c) The percentages of cell with integral DNA structure did not differ among ASCs, _SPIOASCs, ASCs-SMF, and _SPIOASCs-SMF. Scale bar represents 20 μm or 50 μm. versus ASCs or _SPIOASCs.
