Different Effects of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-2 on Myogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 7

IGF-2 knockdown and extracellular IGFBP-6 addition in PMSCs under muscle differentiation conditions decreased the frequency of cells with high ALDH activity. Compared to PMSCs under muscle differentiation conditions (siRNA scrambled control), cells treated with IGF-2 siRNA showed decreased frequency of cells with high ALDH activity at day 1, while adding extracellular IGFP-6 with IGF-2 siRNA showed decreased frequency of cells with high ALDH activity at each time point. Data is presented as the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test was performed to determine , and compared to scrambled siRNA control, or ### compared to IGF-2 siRNA.
