CD90 is expressed highly on S-ADSCs rather than V-ADSCs. S-ADSCs and V-ADSCs prepared as specified in Fig. 1 were examined for stem cell-related markers. a–f The expression of CD90, CD105, and CD44 was detected by flow cytometry. Representative (a, c, e) and statistic (b, d, f) data are shown. g, h The mRNA and protein levels of CD90 were analyzed by qPCR (g) and western blot (h). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n = 3–6 per group. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
