Mouse Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells Expressing Adipogenic and Osteogenic Transcription Factors Suppress the Macrophage Inflammatory Response

Figure 4

Mesenchymal stem cell-associated genes differentially expressed in mAo and D1 progenitor cells. (a) Clustergram demonstrating differentially expressed genes after normalizing to Gapdh, Hprt, and Tbp as shown in Table 1. Relative expression is indicated in the order of the target genes with the lowest expression at the top of each cluster. Red indicates greater expression, green indicates lower expression, black indicates very low expression, and black with a white X indicates no expression (Cq ≥ 30). (b) Relative expression of the Pparγ, Runx2, Sox2, and Sox9 transcription factors in mAo and D1 progenitor cells using the Gapdh gene to normalize. Data are presented as mean ± SD, separate experiments. Significant differences were determined using -test. .
