MSC absolute gene expression of cytokines, growth factors, receptors, and MMPs corroborates previous literature reports. Absolute gene expression of genes encoding a cytokines and growth factors, b cytokine/growth factor receptors, and c metalloprotease-related molecules. Genes with multiple probes were represented by the median value. The absolute gene expression value (EV) was log2-transformed, and blue indicates high expression. T1D-MSCs (Diabetic; n = 4) and C-MSCs (Control; n = 4). MMP matrix metallopeptidase. IL interleukin, PDGF platelet-derived growth factor, TGFβ transforming growth factor beta, TNF tumor necrosis factor, VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
