Expression of BMP and Actin Membrane Bound Inhibitor Is Increased during Terminal Differentiation of MSCs

Figure 2

Differences in glycosaminoglycan content shown by DMMB staining of cell pellets after chondrogenic (chon) (a) and hypertrophic (hyp) conditions (b), as well as different collagen 2 production as revealed by immunohistochemistry against collagen 2 of cell pellets after chondrogenic (c) and hypertrophic conditions (d). Enhancement of hypertrophy shown by immunohistochemistry against collagen 10 between chondrogenic (e) and hypertrophic (f) conditioned cell pellets as well as by ALP staining of chondrogenic (g) and hypertrophic (h) conditioned cell pellets. Scale bar = 500 μm.
