Chondrogenic differentiation of urine-derived cells in vitro. (a) Chondrogenic gene (Sox9, Col2a1, Acan) expression compared between the chondrogenic medium and its respective basal cultures. , . Sox9, sex-determining region Y-box 9; Col2a1, collagen type II; Acan, Aggrecan. (b) The Sox9 protein expression of the urine-derived cells after 7 days of chondrogenic induction. Scale . (c) Alcian blue staining of cells after 21 days in chondrogenic or basal medium. Glycosaminoglycan deposition around the cells was seen in the chondrogenic induced medium. Scale .
