Expression of Pax3 and HOX genes in adipose-stromal cells derived from chin and knee fat: ASCs were isolated from chin (open bars) and knee (black bars) paired fats and were expanded ex vivo. (a) Pax3 expression was quantified by real-time PCR and normalized with TBP housekeeping gene. Values are means ± SEM. P is indicated (n = 4 paired depots). (b) Expression of indicated HOX genes was quantified by real-time PCR and normalized with TBP housekeeping gene. Values are means ± SEM. P are indicated (n = 3 paired depots).
