Chondrogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Both types of MSCs were treated with induction medium for 21 days, and differentiation potential was assessed with quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). a Abundance of glycosaminoglycans and mucopolysaccharides within the extracellular matrix was demonstrated by the positive Alcian blue staining of induced MSC culture. Both types of MSCs showed chondrogenic induction 21 days after induction (×200). b mRNA expressions of aggrecan and collagen type II which were performed by quantitative RT-PCR showed that equivalent mRNA level was observed for aggrecan and collagen between both tissue types (P >0.05). hFMMSC, human fallopian tube mucosa mesenchymal stem cell; hFTMSC, human fallopian tube mesenchymal stem cell; n.s., not significant
