FIG. 6.

Quantitative gene expression rates of osteogenic (A–C), adipogenic (D–F), and chondrogenic (G–I) lineage markers. Gene abbreviations are according to NCBI gene database. Values are median (bars), with the boxes representing first and third quartile and whiskers representing maximal and minimal values. Outliers (1.5 to 3-fold IQR) are depicted as circles. Group sizes were n=3 for BMSCs (independent replicates from one donor) and n=4–6 for iMPCs (replicate cell lines). Significant differences (P<0.05) between iMPCs and BMSCs are designated by an asterisk. Significant differences (P<0.05) between M-iMPCs and A-iMPCs are designated by §.
