Figure 4

Comparison of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs and SM-MSCs. (A) Photomicrographs of control and induced BM-MSCs and SM-MSCs stained with alizarin red (osteogenesis) and oil red O (adipogenesis). Osteogenically induced MSCs stained with alizarin red are positive for extracellular calcium consistent with osteogenesis. Adipogenically induced MSCs demonstrated positive oil red O staining of lipid droplets consistent with adipogenesis. (B) Box plots of expression of osteogenic-related genes including ALP, OC, and RUNX2 for BM-MSC and SM-MSC pellets relative to control BM-MSCs and expression of the adipogenic-related gene PPARγ. 18S was used as a reference gene in all analyses. *p < 0.05.
