In vitro differentiation potential of adherently expanded CMCs in ABC medium. (a) Schematic illustration of induction protocols for differentiation of passage 10 CMCs into cardiomyocytes, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells. D: Day; SB43: SB431542; Pur: Purmorphamine; -Ins: Minus insulin; -Vit. A: Minus vitamin A. (b) Morphology of induced-CMCs into cardiomyocytes, endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Scale bars: 200 µm. (c) Expression analyses of cardiomyocytes (cTNT, MLC2v, and GJA1), endothelial (KDR and vWF), and smooth muscle (PDGFRa and MYH11) cell specific genes compared to undifferentiated CMCs. All data: mean ± SD. (d) Immunofluorescence staining of cTNT, vWF, and α-SMA. Cells were counter-stained with DAPI. Scale bars: 100 µm.
