HSP70 expression in hMSCs with HSP70 knockdown during osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. HSP70 expression measured by Real-time RT-PCR in hMSCs during growth and osteogenic differentiation with and without heat shock at Day 6 (A), 12 (B), 19 (C), and 26 (D). Representative images of immunohistochemical staining of HSP70 in pellet culture samples at day 17 and 19 during chondrogenesis (E); Scale bar: 50 m (Chon: chondrogenic differentiation; HS: heat shock; KD: knockdown). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. N = 4.
