Effect of ROSI, LG100268, 2,4-DTBP, and 2,6-DTBP on lipid accumulation and adipogenic marker gene expression in human MSCs. Cells were treated with 500 nM ROSI, 100 nM LG100268, or different concentrations of 2,4-DTBP or 2,6-DTBP as indicated. Three replicate wells were included for each group in a 24-well plate for lipid accumulation assays or in 12-well plates for adipogenic marker gene expression assay. (A) effects of chemical exposure on adipogenesis in hMSCs. Data are expressed as lipid accumulation normalized to cellular DNA content. (B-E) effects of chemical exposure on expression of adipogenic markers in hMSCs. Data are expressed as fold induction over vehicle control. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean for 3 replicates. *P ≤ .05, **P ≤ .01, ***P ≤ .001 compared with cells treated with 0.1% DMSO vehicle control.
