Autocrine/paracrine loops regulating proliferation and differentiation of human ASCs. FGF2 and activin A are secreted by undifferentiated ASCs and promote proliferation of ASCs via ERK and Smad2 pathways respectively. FGF2 maintains adipogenic potential of undifferentiated ASCs whereas activin A change their phenotype.
