α-Syn regulates MSC stemness and differentiation potential. A Expression levels (determined by quantitative RT-PCR) of the stemness markers OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, and NOTCH increase after 24 h incubation with 0.1 μM and 0.5 μM α-syn, but decrease on treatment with higher α-syn concentration. BD Quantitative RT-PCR shows that α-syn treatment does not affect the expression levels of differentiation markers for B osteogenesis (SMURF1, SMURF2), C adipogenesis (PPARG, RHOA), and D chondrogenesis (HAT1, BMP4)
