The phenotypic analysis of cultured ASCs. The results are based on 10 biological replicates, including 5 plastic surgery and 5 oncological surgery patients. Flow cytometry assessment of both positive (A) and negative (B) ASCs markers showed statistically significant changes in the expression of the following positive markers: ANPEP (CD13), CD44, NT5E (CD73) and ENG (CD105); and two negative surface markers of ASC – PECAM1 (CD31) and CD34 (all marked with*). The X axis represents the passage number (from P1 to P6), whereas the Y axis displays the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of cells expressing particular surface marker. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the dynamics of changes between passages. Statistical significance was accepted when P was ≤ 0.01. Center lines denote the median, box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles; whiskers represent the maximum and minimum of the acquired values.
