Hypertrophic differentiation in chondrogenically-induced hMSCs upon administration of rAAV vectors. hMSC aggregates were transduced with the various vectors or vector combinations as described in Fig. 1 and in Methods. Samples were histologically and histomorphometrically processed after 21 days to evaluate matrix mineralization (alizarin red staining; magnification × 20) a, b and the deposition of type I collagen (magnification × 4) a, c and type X collagen (magnification × 4) a, d as described in Methods (all representative data). *,**Statistically significant compared with group 1 (rAAV-lacZ) (*P ≤0.050; **P ≤0.010).
