Functional analyses of hEMSCs. a, b Cell proliferation was assessed by 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) pulse chasing. Representative micrographs of immunofluorescent staining of BrdU (red), nuclei stained with 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, blue), and quantification of the percentage of BrdU+ cells in hEMSCs vs hBMSCs. c The rate of cell growth was significantly higher in hEMSCs vs hBMSCs. d Cell migration was assessed by wound-scratch assay. Representative images showed the cell migration of hEMSCs and hBMSCs, and migration rate was significantly higher in hEMSCs. e Representative micrographs of adipogenic differentiation by Oil Red O staining of lipid droplets. The adipogenic differentiation rate was significantly lower in hEMSCs vs hBMSCs. f Representative micrographs of osteogenic differentiation by alizarin red staining of osteocytes. The osteogenic differentiation rate was similar between hEMSCs and hBMSCs. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. N = 6/group for all experiments
