Collagen Modulates the Biological Characteristics of WJ-MSCs in Basal and Osteoinduced Conditions
Figure 7
Collagen modulated the expression of (a) stemness, (b) immunomodulatory, and (c) other MSC genes. WJ-MSC-COL cultured in basal media was compared to WJ-MSCs without COL, while WJ-MSC-COL cultured in osteogenic media was compared to WJ-MSC-COL in basal media. Asterisk () indicates statistical significance (). The SOX2 and NANOG expressions were obtained through semiquantitative RT-PCR. All data obtained from three independent biological samples.
