DiI-retaining cells possess multipotency in vitro. (A) Expression of GFAP, βIII-tubulin and PDGFRα in DiI-retaining and DiI-negative cells in the NCH421k cell line prior to and following differentiation as assayed by western blot, with β-actin as the internal reference. Quantification of the band densities of (B-a) GFAP, (B-b) βIII-tubulin and (B-c) PDGFRα through normalization to β-actin using ImageJ software. The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation from three independent experiments. *P<0.05 compared with expression prior to differentiation in the DiI-retaining group. GFAP, glial fibrillary acidic protein; PDGFRα, platelet-derived growth factor receptor α.
