Multidifferentiation capacity of MSCs from the three groups of swine. a Histological images demonstrate that MSCs from all groups possess multidifferentiation capacity, exemplified by the ability to differentiate to osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes in vitro; scale bars = 250 μm. b Gene expression analysis revealed no significant differences in the ability of MSCs to differentiate down the osteogenic (osteonectin, osteopontin, and osteocalcin genes) and adipogenic (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) genes) lineages.
