MPC chondrogenic pellets express cartilaginous proteins. MPC cell lines were grown into spheroids within 28 days of culture in growth media (GM) or chondrogenic media (CM). Pellets were sectioned and stained for Aggrecan (ACAN), Type 1 Collagen (COL1) and Type 10 Collagen (COLX). (A) Pellets from MPC1 cells had increased ACAN staining when cultured in CM. No apparent changes in COL1 or COLX were observed in MPC1 cells. (B) MPC2 cells had increased ACAN staining, but less dramatic than MPC1. MPC2 cells showed no change in COL1 but had enhanced COLX staining. (10X; bar = 250 µm).
