Vessel Wall-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Share Similar Differentiation Potential and Immunomodulatory Properties with Bone Marrow-Derived Stromal Cells

Heat maps of the differentially expressed genes in BM-MSCs and SV-MSCs. Genes related to stemness, HOX, Notch and SOX signaling, differentiation and lineage, cell cycle, and oncogenes were selected. The functional cluster analysis of the different expression levels of selected genes shows the difference between the cell types suggesting different tissue origin. (Color key represents relative gene expression levels.)
