Induced neuronal differentiation of canine MSCs on CNT films.

Notes: (A) Morphological changes after 24 hours of preinduction. Scale bars: 50 µm. (B) Morphological changes after 6-day induction for neuronal differentiation on the control and different CNT films. Scale bars: 20 µm. (C) Relative expression of neuronal marker genes of canine MSCs differentiated on control and different CNT films. Results normalized to GAPDH relative to control. Dashed line indicates values of target genes in control conditions. The symbols * and # indicate significance (P<0.05) with respect to control and between the films, respectively, for a target gene. The results are the mean ± standard error of the mean of the triplicate experiments.

Abbreviations: CNT, carbon nanotube; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell; MWCNT, multiwalled CNT; PEG, polyethylene glycol; SWCNT, single-walled CNT.
