Fig 2. Colony-forming potential of SYN-MSCs and BM-MSCs.

Fig 2

(A) MSCs were isolated from synovium and bone fragments. (B) Representative flow cytometric profiles of cells derived from bone marrow (BM, left) and synovium (SYN, right) of the same donor and stained for LNGFR and THY-1. PI, propidium iodide. (C) Flow cytometric analysis of the percentage of LNGFR+THY-1+ cells among BM- and SYN-derived cells (n = 7, **p < 0.01). (D) Number of colonies formed by BM-MSCs and SYN-MSCs on day 14 (n = 6, *p<0.05; **p < 0.01). (E) Representative population doubling level of BM-MSCs and SYN-MSCs. (F) Population doubling level of SYN-MSCs and BM-MSCs at day 18 (n = 4; ns, not significant).
