TGF-β Inhibitor SB431542 Promotes the Differentiation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells into Mesenchymal-Like Cells

Figure 5

Oct-4 expression analysis of undifferentiated iPSCs/ESCs, BM-hMSCs, and iPSC/ESC-derived MSCs. The expression of Oct-4 was downregulated in BM-hMSCs and iPSC/ESC-derived MSCs in comparison with the undifferentiated iPSCs and ESCs. Gene expression was normalized to 18S. Three technical replicates were performed for each sample.
