Characteristics of MSC Supercharged with E-selectin. (A) Cell growth was enhanced post-transduction with E-selectin in either (top) plating density of 0.5 × 10⁵ or (bottom) 0.1 × 10⁵ when compared to control (mean ± SD of triplicates for each seeding density, *P < 0.05 by Student's T-test). (B) Expression of several chemokine/cytokine mRNA was significantly higher in the MSC^{Eselectin−GFP} vs. MSC^GFP measured by quantitative PCRArray. Equal portions of RNA from three plates in each group were utilized to perform reverse transcription reaction and each experiments was repeated for three times (mean ± SD of fold change MSC^{E−selectin−GFP} vs. MSC^GFP, *P < 0.05 by Student's T-test).
