FIG. 5.

(a) Photomicrographs showing the adipogenic differentiation of different passages of TDSCs in basal or adipogenic media at day 21 as assessed by Oil Red-O staining. Scale bar: 100 μm. Arrows: oil droplets. Boxplots showing the mRNA expression of (b) PPARγ2 and (c) C/EBPα in different passages of TDSCs in basal or adipogenic media. Dotted line: post hoc comparison of two different TDSC passages as indicated by the two ends of the dotted line after adipogenic induction; solid line: comparison between basal and adipogenic media at different TDSC passages; *P≤0.05; In (b) and (c), “o” and “*” above the boxes of P30 represent outliner and extreme value of the data set, respectively.
