Secretion of soluble factors from MSCs cultured in 2D or 3D substrates.

IL-6 PGE2 TSG-6 MCP-1 VEGF M-CSF RANKL
2D MSCs 57.4 ± 14.9 6.0 ± 2.2 4.3 ± 1.6 27.8 ± 8.8 39.3 ± 10.7 3.8 ± 0.6 1.2 ± 0.1
3D MSCs 34.1 ± 8.9* 14.7 ± 6.1* 9.8 ± 2.0* 10.3 ± 2.9* 27.0 ± 6.6 4.3 ± 1.3 0.6 ± 0.1*

The data are expressed as pg/ml.μg of total proteins. Each value represents the mean ± SD of five independent experiments. *p < 0.05 compared to 2D MSCs.
