(A) ASCs have a significantly higher telomerase activity than BM-MSCs: Quantification of telomerase activity in BM-MSCs and ASCs was assayed using a fluorescent PCR-based telomerase activity detection method, TRAP (Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol). Telomerase activity is shown as amole of product/mg protein. (B) mRNA expression levels in ASCs with reference to BM-MSCs: qPCR analysis showed a higher expression of Oct4, VEGF, FGF, and TGF-β in ASCs while MMPII expression was higher in BM-MSCs. Data are shown as mean ± S.D. (error bars). ****p < 0.005.
