Fig. 4From: The crosstalk between vascular MSCs and inflammatory mediators determines the pro-calcific remodelling of human atherosclerotic aneurysmAdipogenic differentiation of AAA-MSCs. a Representative Oil Red O staining of ha-MSCs and AAA-MSCs showed the formation of lipid droplets after induction with adipogenic medium for 14 days. b Real-time PCR performed on differentiated MSCs revealed significant up-regulation of PPAR-γ in AAA-MSCs following induction. Results are expressed as fold changes relative to undifferentiated ha-MSCs and are representative of at least three independent experiments. *p < 0.05.
