Expression of ECM-related genes, including collagen I, collagen IV, connexin-43, vimentin, vitronectin, and elastin of both WJ-MSC- and AM-MSC derived cell sheets as determined by real-time PCR. The expression levels were normalized to that of β-actin. Mean ± SD of five independent experiments performed in triplicate. * P > 0.05; *** P < 0.001. AM-MSCs amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells, WJ-MSCs Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells
