(A) Comparison of Differentiation Potential of imCMSCs. According to the International Society for Cellular Therapeutics (ISCT) definition of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), the osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation abilities of immortalized chorionic mesenchymal stromal cells (imCMSCs) were assessed. The cells underwent differentiation into osteoblasts (×200), adipocytes (×400), and chondroblasts (×200) using alizarin red dye, oil red O dye, and Alcian blue dye, respectively. n = 3. (B) Comparison of karyotypic profiles between the two cell lines. (C) Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on cells (×400). Red fluorescence is β-actin gene, green fluorescence is the target gene. (D) Soft agar cloning experiments were performed to verify the in vitro safety of imCMSCs. A549 was used as a positive control and 3rd-passage CMSCs as a negative control. Magnification is 100 μm. Red arrows are cells.
