Differential Proteomic Analysis Predicts Appropriate Applications for the Secretome of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Dermal Fibroblasts

Figure 1

Differential proteome analysis of CM-ASCs and CM-DFs. (a) Hierarchical clustering criteria identify 15 proteins preponderantly secreted by ASCs () and 21 factors predominantly released by DFs (). The color scale represents the label-free quantification (LFQ) of the relative amount of proteins in the biological samples. (b) Venn diagrams (http://bioinfogp.cnb.csic.es/tools/venny) representing the number of differentially expressed proteins identified by distinct statistical analyses (Student’s t test alone (TT) or followed by hierarchical clustering (HC)) and discrimination criteria (factors uniquely present in the CM of one cell type considering all samples (E) or considering only ASCs and DFs harvested from the same donor (E (SD)).
