Characterization and differentiation potentials of cultured MSCs. (a) MSCs showed morphology consistent with typical MSCs (i) and could successfully differentiate into osteoblasts (ii), chondrocytes (iii), and adipocytes (iv), . (b, c) MSCPBS and MSCTGF-β1 morphology was similar to normal MSCs (i) and could differentiate into osteoblasts (ii), chondrocytes (iii), and adipocytes (iv), . (d–f) Cultured MSCs were immunostained with antibodies for CD73, D90, and CD105 (positive) and CD14, CD34, and CD45 (negative). The stained cells were analyzed using flow cytometry to detect the surface markers specific to MSCs. The percentage of the cell population with positive or negative staining is represented in each figure, . MSCs: mesenchymal stem cells.
