Fig 4. Neural differentiation increases ferritin expression in neural-differentiation-inducible ferritin-expressing human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Fig 4

(A) Western blot analysis of ferritin expression in neural-differentiation-inducible ferritin-expressing (NDIFE) and neurally differentiated (ND)-NDIFE human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs). Ferritin expression was significantly higher in ND-NDIFE hADMSCs than in the corresponding control NDIFE hADMSCs. Error bars represent the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3); *P < 0.05. (B) A photomicrograph showing the immunofluorescent staining of ferritin in NDIFE and ND-NDIFE hADMSCs. Ferritin expression (red fluorescence) was significantly stronger in ND-NDIFE hADMSCs than in the corresponding control NDIFE hADMSCs. The scale bar is 50 μm. GFP: green fluorescent protein, DAPI: 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.
