Figure 2From: Properties and usefulness of aggregates of synovial mesenchymal stem cells as a source for cartilage regenerationTranscriptome changes after aggregation of human synovial MSCs. (A): Hierarchical clustering analysis for gene expression profile of aggregates of MSCs. The color code for the signal strength in the classification scheme is shown in the box left. High expression genes are indicated by shades of red and low expression genes are indicated by shades of green. (B): Expressions of chondrogenesis-related genes (SOX5, SOX6, SOX9, BMP2) and anti-inflammatory genes (TSG-6, STC-1) in aggregates of MSCs at Days 0 to 3 by real time RT-PCR analysis. The results are shown in four individual donors respectively.Back to article page
