Endothelial cell (EC) differentiation challenge of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hypoxia-induced MSCs (hi-MSCs) with analysis through TaqMan and SYBR Gene Expression Assays at day 3 and day 7 after cells were cultured with EC-induction medium. (a) Analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression. (b) Analysis of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) gene expression. (c) Analysis of von Willebrand factor (vWF) gene expression. hi-MSC population of cells may have added potential for EC differentiation compared to the MSC population of cells.
