Adhesion to collagen is increased in Sdc3−/− MSCs. MSCs were isolated from wild type (n = 6) and Sdc3−/− (n = 6) mice and seeded onto several different substrates in complete expansion medium (CEM). After 60 min the average percentage of wild type (WT) and Sdc3−/− MSCs adhered to each substrate was calculated: (a) Non-coated, (b) Collagen type I, (c) Fibronectin and (d) Laminin. (e) A scratch assay was performed on MSCs cultured in serum free medium (SFM), reduced serum content medium (rCEM) or full serum content medium (fCEM) and the average percentage of gap closure is shown. (f) Cell migration towards specific chemoattractants was measured using a transwell assay. The number of migrated cells was calculated after 15 h of incubation to each chemoattractant. PTN, pleiotrophin. Data presented as mean ± standard deviation; *p < 0.05.
