Cell proliferation and survival of MSCs in CMCh-ACP hybrid gel
in vitro. (A,B) The MSC iMADs preinfected with AdR-GLuc were mixed
with CMCh-ACP hybrid gel, seeded into 12 well plates, and grown with
complete DMEM (B). RFP signal was detected at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and
15 days. At the 15th day, another dose of Ad-GLuc was added to each
well to reinfect iMADs in CMCh-ACP hybrid gel; the RFP signal was
recorded three days later (day 18). (C) Gaussia luciferase activity
assay. At the indicated time points, an aliquot of the culture media
from AdR-GLuc-transduced iMADs cultured in CMCh-ACP hybrid gel was
collected for GLuc activity analysis. Each assay condition was done
in triplicate. “**” p < 0.01, compared
with the GLuc activity at day 3.
