Characterization and differentiation of BM-MSC. (A) Reprentative flow cytometric analysis of cultured mesenchymal stomal cells. Solid white represente the isotype control. (B) A. BM-MSC, displayed an homogeneous morphology of fibroblastic cells. Cells were stained with May Grunwald Giemsa staining (40×). Under specific induction BM-MSC were differentiated into (B) adipocytes (lipid vacuoles were colored by Oil Red O, ×40), (C) osteocytes (calcium deposits were revealed by Von Kossa method, ×40), (D) chondrocytes (cell pellet was sectioned and stained by toluidine blue, ×4), and (E) neuron-like cells derived from BM-MSC upon treatment with neurogenic medium (×40). Expression of nestin and MAP-2 after 10 days induction, detected by immunofluorescence (F and G, 100×).
