Adult Human Multipotent Neural Cells Could Be Distinguished from Other Cell Types by Proangiogenic Paracrine Effects via MCP-1 and GRO

Figure 2

Expression of pericyte markers in ahMNCs. (a) Morphologies of cell types tested were illustrated. Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) Levels of mRNAs of pericyte markers were analyzed by RT-qPCR. , . Inlet tables indicate statistical significance between ahMNCs and other cell types. and ^# represent significantly higher and lower levels in ahMNCs, respectively. , , , and ^###. (c) Protein levels of NSC (NG2), pericyte (NG2, PDGFRβ, and CD146) or endothelial cell (CD146 and CD31) markers were analyzed by flow cytometry. Number in each panel indicated percent of marker-positive cells.
