Figure 6From: Relative genomic stability of adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells: analysis of ploidy, H19 long non-coding RNA and p53 activityp53 silencing promotes a ploidy change in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells but not in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Ploidy and p53 expression were evaluated in (A) bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM MSCs) and (B) adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) following p53 silencing by a specific p53 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or a nonrelevant shRNA control. RNA was extracted 3Â days after infection. For ploidy analysis, cells were expanded for an additional three passages. Con, control; KD, knockdown.Back to article page
