Gene Profiles in the Early Stage of Neuronal Differentiation of Mouse Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Induced by Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor

Figure 2

Developmental potential ability of BMSCs in vitro. BMSCs at passages 6, 25, and 50 were induced under adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic conditions. The presence of clusters of lipid containing adipocytes was detected by Sudan blue staining after adipogenic induction for 5 days. Cells show chondrocyte morphology and are positive for Alcian black stain after chondrogenic induction for 21 days. Cells show osteocyte morphology and are positive for Alizarin red stain after osteogenic induction for 21 days.
