RAR agonists can prevent tenogenic differentiation and other instructed mesenchymal lineages in rat ATSCs (passage 6) following long-term differentiation in confluent conditions ai. Stimulation with osteogenic d, g, adipogenic e, h, and chondrogenic f, i media caused a time-dependent increase in alkaline phosphatase d, g, LipidTOX-Green/Foxo1 e, h and Aggrecan/Col2a1 f, i respectively. Addition of tazarotene to the induction media causes a decrease in all differentiation markers ai. Values are given as the mean ± SD, n = 3. *p <0.05, **p <0.005, ***p <0.001. DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide
