| Figure 5: (A) Expression of TNC mRNA in MSCs cultured on a gelatin/HA
culture system as compared to a monolayer system and hydrogel scaffold. (B)
Expression of SPARC mRNA in MSCs cultured on a gelatin/HA culture system
as compared to a monolayer system and hydrogel scaffold. (C) Expression of
OPN mRNA in MSCs cultured on a gelatin/HA culture system as compared to
a monolayer system and hydrogel scaffold. Data represent results from three
independent experiments. Each individual assay was performed in triplicates
and expressed as mean ± SD; # represents a significant difference of a gelatin/
HA culture from monolayer, P<0.05; * represents a significant difference of a
gelatine/HA from hydrogel, P<0.05; § represents a significant difference of
hydrogel from monolayer, P<0.05. |
