Gene expressions relevant to immune modulation of AD- and BM-MSCs through passages. A–L TSG-6 and HLA-G expressions were decreased, whereas galectin-1 and galectin-3 expressions were increased or maintained throughout passages in AD-MSCs and BM-MSCs. Data is shown as normalized gene expression (A–B, D–E, G–H, J–K) compared to the housekeeping gene, GAPDH, and as relative gene expression (C, F, I, L) compared to AD- and BM-MSC P4. Each experiment was conducted in triplicate. All values are the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant versus P4 of each origin, ns means not significant
