Human skeletal stem cells (SSCs) osteoblastic differentiation correlates with increased expression of carboxypeptidase E (CPE). (A) Alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity of human SSCs at day 1 (D1) and after 12 days of growth (D12) in media supplemented with β‐glycerol phosphate (10mM), ascorbic acid (50 μg/mL), and dexamethasone (10nM). (B) The same SSCs were grown as in (A), and RNA was isolated at D12 and analyzed with RT‐PCR for human Cpe mRNA expression. ALP = alkaline phosphatase; CT = cell outgrowth from knee cartilage; MA3 and MA4 = marrow aspirates collected from iliac crest of two different subjects; MR = marrow collected from a knee representing hematopoietic marrow; YB = marrow collected from a femoral head highly enriched in adipocytes.
