Gene expression of chemo drug treated MSC. a-e MSC were left untreated (CON) or treated with CYT, DAU or VIN for 48 h. After treatment, the cells were cultured in drug free media for 7 days and total RNA was extracted from the cells and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Semi-quantitative real-time PCR was done to analyze the mRNA expression levels of the indicated genes and the values were normalized to GAPDH expression levels in the respective samples. Values are mean ± SE, n = 3–4 samples. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005
