EM and s.c. ASCs are capable of fusion with skeletal muscle progenitor (SMP) cells derived from rotator cuff muscles. (A): Images of CFDA-labeled ASCs (green, left panel) fused with rotator cuff-derived SMPs in differentiated cocultures from the indicated patient cohorts. Arrowheads indicate CFDA-positive myotubes and arrows, CFDA-negative myotubes. (B): Expression of early (MYOD), mid (MEF2C), and late (MHC) stage myogenic genes as a function of ASC source, normalized to s.c. ASC average expression. ∗, p < .05. Abbreviations: ASCs, adipose-derived stem cells; EM, epimuscular.
